SALT’s screening program Is this our last chance? calls attention to climate change, its impact on humans and the world; the 2021 selection brings together ten documentary films from South Africa, Norway, France, Canada, Bolivia, and the Balkans. This year’s seventh edition, supported by Garanti BBVA, begins with One Table Two Elephants (2019) on April 26 and can be streamed with Turkish subtitles at saltonline.org for a week.

Is this our last chance? confronts climate change; focusing on urgent issues.
