Once Upon a Time in a Forrest

Ida and Minka are two passionate activists within Extinction Rebellion, united in a courageous fight against the profit-driven indifference of multinational corporations. Documentary filmmaker Virpi Suutari follows their struggle and their direct actions to protect Finland’s ancient forests — a place they love and refuse to see destroyed. The result is a timely and thought-provoking film that raises questions about the forest as a natural resource, youth awareness and courage, generational divides, and the capitalist power structures shaping our world today.

The film is screened at the Museum of Women’s History with free admission — however, tickets must be collected from one of the festival’s box offices.
