Screening and Discussion of “Bigger Than Us”

CultureSciences – Youth Engaged in Making the World a Better Place.

As part of the Les CultureSciences series, Institut Agro Montpellier, in partnership with UM, is hosting a special screening and discussion of the film “Bigger Than Us” by Flore Vasseur—director and producer of an inspiring documentary about youth activism around the world—on Tuesday, February 6, at 6 p.m. on the La Gaillarde campus.

"Bigger Than Us" is a film about youth—about their clear-eyed perspective and their refusal to let our world fall apart. It is also a film about the fragility and beauty of life on this planet, our shared home, where joy and the art of working together and fighting together can still prevail.

It is a film about freedom, despite everything, and about the choice to take action—a choice that each and every one of us can still embrace. *Bigger Than Us* also offers a sensitive portrayal of this generation on the move and its struggles around issues such as social justice, the climate crisis, women’s rights, and access to food and education.

Filmed in seven countries—Lebanon, Malawi, Greece, the United States, Brazil, Uganda, and Indonesia—Flore Vasseur sets out to meet young people fighting their daily battles, whose dedication is sure to inspire us all.
