Synopsis: The second episode of this series focuses on unnatural catastrophes, that is, caused by the human hand. An example is the torrential flood that occurred in 1967 in Lisbon and that killed hundreds of people due to unplanned construction in the floodplain. Catastrophes related to radioactivity and the black tides were also prominent throughout the world. Public opinion, both Portuguese and international, became aware of environmental issues when the media began to report the first catastrophic events of human and involuntary cause. This episode deepens the energy problem by highlighting environmental concerns and the environmental movement.

Session 3 of the ParaDocma Itinerant Cinema Series, an initiative jointly organised by the Coimbra em Transição Association (CeT) and the CES Ecology and Society Workshop (ECOSOC), in collaboration with other local organisations.
