Previous events
Pedalling for Primates, Oxford Brookes
On Wednesday 10th March 2010, Oxford Brookes University kindly came to our rescue and provided an excellent venue at short notice for our screening, in association with the Sumatran Orangutan Society (SOS), of Patrick Rouxel’s ‘Losing Tomorrow’, a poetical film on the habitat of orangutans and an insight into the logging industry in Indonesia.
Screened using a newly developed Pedal Power Cinema, a large audience also had the chance to see ‘Dear Mr President’, a short film created at the request of local communities in Sumatra, and to listen to world-renowned conservationist, Ian Redmond.
All money raised at this event will go towards a Pedal Power Cinema for conservation education projects with communities living near the last remaining forests in Sumatra.
