Dear Eagles,
Tom here. We've been working on a documentary film in Chamonix speaking to people whose lives are closely related to the Mer de Glace (guides, refuge guardians, artists) and learning about their experience of living alongside such a vivid expression of climate change. The film addresses their psychological experience and the tensions between tradition and adaptation within the community.
Now, I wanted to share the project with club members and to ask for your support. If you would like to contribute to the film, you will not only be supporting a fellow member but also advancing the club's objective to 'take positive action to engage and respond to the impact of climate change in the mountain environment.'
You can see a work-in-progress teaser on the fundraising page here: https://gofund.me/bc7ab938
All support, no matter the size, will make a significant impact!
Feel free to contact me personally if you would like to discuss the project further.
Kind regards,
Tom Burke
ps. Some of you may see a familiar face or two...
