About us

We are an audiovisual educational program about lithium mining in the Atacama Desert, the responsibility of automobile companies, and solutions beyond the individual electric car.

The objective is to promote the exchange of knowledge between the Global South and the Global North for the understanding of a true Just Transition to green energies and to promote a coherent urban mobility to the present times.

Through 10 short films – mainly made in the Atacama region and Berlin – the demands of affected communities, activists, women scientists, bicycle organizations, lithium and automobile workers’ unions, affected communities in Brandenburg (Germany), and urban development experts are shown.

The educational program raises concerns about conventional “green growth” narratives driven by governments, corporations, and certain non-governmental organizations that benefit large-scale mining and automobile manufacturers.

Through short films, teaching guides, posters and virtual discussions, alternative discourses are presented so that popular educators and teachers in secondary and higher education can build a foundation of critical thinking that guides students as agents of change.
