Historia

Camille Étienne (born 29 May 1998) is a French ecological activist, writer and director. She is a member of the "Avant l'Orage" duo with Solal Moisan, with which she has co-directed the short films "GENERATION", "DESOBEIR" and "GLACIER". After studying at Sciences Po Paris, she quickly became involved in many political battles, striving to popularize new and alternative ways of cohabiting with our world in the face of impending climate crisis. She has often intervened at the European Parliament along with fellow activists Greta Thunberg and Adelaïde Charlier for climate related questions, has made apparitions on national television calling for civil disobedience and a search for meaningful work in a slower society, and has written in left-wing newspapers such as Socialter or L'Humanité. Founder of the #LookDown action, she calls for the prohibition of deep sea mining across the globe. She is also an outspoken member of the #StopEACOP initiative, speaking out against French giant TotalEnergies' construction of a crude oil pipeline in East Africa. She is in Vanity Fair's list of the 50 most influential French women of 2020, alongside Adèle Haenel or Virginie Despentes.

It's Our Time!
Self
The young generation sees their future at risk. They rebel against a lifestyle that threatens to destroy the world. The corona crisis also highlighted the deficits of our globalized economy and society. Does this crisis hold a chance for change for the better? The film draws a picture of the mood of the young generation and goes on a search for traces of ideas and concepts for a world after Corona in France, Germany and Poland. What is really important for young Europeans and how do they assess their future prospects? What scares them and what makes them hope? And who stands in their way and brakes? The TV presenter Aline Abboud meets young activists and artists for this, but she also listens to the opposing voices. Especially in Poland the youth are deeply divided, more and more are getting involved in conservative or nationalist right-wing organizations, while the country is slowly drifting into an anti-democratic dictatorship.
