Snowpiercer

In a post-apocalyptic future, the Earth has frozen over after a failed climate experiment. The last survivors live on a train that endlessly circles the globe: the Snowpiercer. Inside the train, a strict class division has emerged — the rich live in luxury at the front, while the poor suffer in misery at the back. A rebellion breaks out when the lower class decides to fight their way forward, car by car, to overthrow the system.

Snowpiercer is a breathtaking action spectacle that dares to ask big questions about the impact of climate change on the Earth and our role in society. Is pop culture the right way to raise these important questions, or does a film like this miss its mark? We discuss this with Maarten Keulemans, science editor at De Volkskrant, and scientist Gabriela (Gaby) Alberola, whose work at the University of Amsterdam focuses, among other things, on the allocation of climate change budgets in the Global South. Moderator: Sophie Jansen (Filmhuis Den Haag).
