Wood reveals the hidden story of illegal logging, a global business worth billions. Alexander von Bismarck, descendant of the Iron Chancellor and head of the Environmental Investigation Agency in Washington D.C., successfully pursues the machinations of the timber mafia worldwide – with dyed hair, a concealed camera and covert sound recording equipment. His primary concern isn’t to expose a scandalous situation, but rather to promote a change in the consciousness of politics and civil society and to bring about a new code of conduct for the global economy and consumers. Wood is an environmental thriller that draws its tension from shameful everyday reality.

This screening of Wood will include an introduction by Vanessa Senger, co-chair of South Yorkshire Climate Alliance and Oliver Blensdorf chair of Global Justice Sheffield.
