Werner Boote/2019/93 min/Environmental & Social Justice, Historical Perspectives
FILM DESCRIPTION: “The Green Lie” questions the sustainable marketing images big global players made up over the past years to get back trust from the rising crowd of skeptical customers. What about fair palm oil? Is BP really Beyond Petrol? The camera follows the two protagonists around the globe, doing research and interviews with company speakers, philosophers, and with those fighting for a better and living friendly world.
