Join People For Nature and the Alliance Française de Canberra for a special community screening of Nature – The Call for Reconciliation, a powerful cinematic experience connecting global environmental challenges to local action. Presented as part of Citizen COP Australia 2026.

Directed by internationally acclaimed filmmaker Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Nature – Pour une réconciliation (Nature – The Call for Reconciliation) is a visually breathtaking and deeply moving documentary exploring humanity’s relationship with the natural world.

Through stunning aerial imagery and poetic storytelling, the film invites us to reflect on our place within Earth’s living systems and the urgent need to restore balance between people and planet. At a time when climate and biodiversity crises are accelerating, Nature offers both a powerful wake-up call and a message of hope. Reconciliation is still possible.

Presented in French with English subtitles, this is a rare opportunity to experience this extraordinary film on the big screen. Nature was produced by Hope Production and is distributed in Australia thanks to the help of Serge Thoman, Conseiller des Français de l’étranger for Australia, Fiji and Papua New Guinea.

Entry is free, but bookings are essential.

The film runs for approximately 1 hour 45 minutes.

About Nature – The Call for Reconciliation

Nature – Pour une Réconciliation (Nature – The Call for Reconciliation) is a beautiful and educational documentary suitable for general audiences. The film explores humanity’s relationship with the natural world and environmental themes.

While the film is not rated in Australia, as a guideline it is recommended as a PG (parental guidance) film for children aged 12 and above, who will appreciate the stunning visuals and the thought-provoking message. Some children may find the film length and complex topics challenging.

About Citizen COP Australia

This screening is part of Citizen COP Australia 2026, a decentralised, people-powered movement running alongside the global COPs in 2026. Enabled by People For Nature, but intentionally independent and distributed, Citizen COP invites communities, organisations, schools, businesses, artists and local groups across Australia to host their own events during the COP period.

Citizen COP is a nationwide network of conversations, workshops, and actions bringing global climate and nature discussions into local communities. It connects people to science, solutions, and each other, strengthening civic engagement and ensuring citizen voices contribute to Australia’s climate and nature conversations.

About People For Nature

People For Nature is a volunteer-powered environmental charity empowering communities through climate and biodiversity education, citizen conservation, and science. They believe that when Australians understand and connect with nature, they’re more likely to protect it – safeguarding our climate, ecosystems and well-being.

This event is presented in partnership with People For Nature and the Alliance Française de Canberra.
