Since activists occupied Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam in November 2022, a cultural battle has been raging over the future of aviation. While airlines promise to fly climate-neutrally by 2050, environmental organisations are calling for passenger flights to be reduced as much as possible and private aircraft to be banned. Pioneers of green flying reveal their visions and disappointments, and their groundbreaking progress is captured with a great deal of emotion. This is contrasted with activists who paralysed Geneva Airport during a trade fair for private jets.

The film screening will be followed by a discussion with researchers from the Cluster of Excellence SE²A - Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Aviation at TU Braunschweig.
