The Movie

The Cost of Growth challenges Europe’s growth story by exposing the extractive systems it relies on and the communities that pay the price.

With an international cast, the film (90 minutes) connects struggles in Serbia, Italy, and Sápmi to wider fights for justice — showing how communities resist extraction, build solidarities, and expose the violence behind Europe’s economy.

We need your support to bring the movie to the world.

As much as we’re excited to move beyond growth, we're still making this movie in a capitalist reality. We’ve done as much as possible voluntarily but making a high-quality movie has some costs involved.

Help us cover our costs

Who are we growing this economy for?

What if the climate crisis is about much more than the climate?

What is the cost of growth for humanity?
