About this listen
Our fifth episode opens at an ‘EcoArt’ performance night, held at the Working Men’s club in Bethnal Green. Showcasing how alienating the ‘hippy eco-warrior’ protest movement can be – with its drastic actions, and dramatic generalisations (“people power vs. corporate greed”) – we ask: why do some of us feel that extreme protest is the only option?
To investigate this, we follow the battle between a small group of claimants and the Oil and Gas Authority and start to uncover a seemingly symbiotic relationship between the government and the fossil fuel industry.
Which leads us to some uncomfortable questions: have corporations impacted our democracy, how did this happen…and were the hippies right after all?
