Film screening and discussion with director Benjamain Hennnot, moderated by Martin Colla.

Synopsis:

In 1978, the Belgian government planned to build a massive dam in the Eau Noire Valley, upstream from the small town of Couvin. The residents then became staunch resisters and waged a flamboyant guerrilla campaign. For nine months, there would be disturbances and acts of sabotage, occupations and “visits,” makeshift camps, and the launch of Belgium’s first independent radio station… An ensemble film that conveys the joy and strength of a grassroots movement that was exemplary in every way. A chapter in the history of civil society, told by those who made it happen.
