Purpose

The global multi-crisis is accelerating and affects all levels of society: democracy, climate, biodiversity, migration, justice, equality, institutions, farming. And yet, there is no mainstream debate about the issue at the core of many – if not all – of these problems: our economies. How they function, what they deliver and how they are designed is not really part of public discourse. Purpose shows how economists Katherine Trebeck and Lorenzo Fioramonti fight to bring society off of its destructive course.
Following the film, there will be a discussion with director Martin H. Oetting, a representative from ICLEI and Benedikt Schmid of the chair of geography of the university of Freiburg.

No seats left? We also show the movie in a parallel screening in the cinema’s smaller gallery room! There won’t be a discussion there, however.
