Agenda | Program
Holy Shit is a feature-length documentary directed by Rubén Abruña and produced by Thurn Film, which will be released in 2023. The film puts climate resilience at its core, urging viewers to recognise sustainable sanitation and resource recovery as essential strategies for adapting to water scarcity and flooding. It shows different innovative solutions from around the world, such as Hamburg and Geneva, which are leading the way in producing electricity and fertiliser through non-sewered sanitation systems, or the Poop Pirates in Uganda, who are promoting co-composting within communities in Kampala. Through these diverse examples, Holy Shit highlights the climate change adaptation and mitigation potential of sustainable sanitation, demonstrating how it can respond to climate impacts such as flooding and water scarcity, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with conventional energy and fertilizer production
