Trócaire’s latest documentary ‘Make It Your Business’ which deals with some of the major humanitarian issues caused by global business in the 21st century, is to be screened in the Development Perspectives office in Drogheda later this month.
‘We have a problem with global business – sweatshops, child labour, land grabs, oil spills, deforestation, defenders under attack.
We have allowed corporations to grow incredibly powerful, while at the same time we have failed to put in place rules to prevent businesses from abusing human rights and devastating the environment.
‘Make it Your Business’ is a new short documentary from Trócaire which goes on a journey to explore this problem of corporate accountability, meeting experts and human rights activists on the front lines of corporate exploitation and abuse.
To tackle these injustices, the documentary also explores how we might realise a better future by bringing in new rules to protect people and planet, and how ordinary people can stand up and take action.’
The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with the filmmaker Emmet Sheerin.
September 28th,
Development Perspectives Offices,
The Mall, North Quay, Drogheda, A92PY68.
Doors open at 6.30 pm – screening starts at 7.00 pm
