Hambachers

Overview

Hambach, a millenary forest in the heart of Europe, is the setting for a unique experiment in environmental resistance challenging the bulldozers of RWE, multinational company that wants to cancel the wood to build a coal mining basin. The forest community was born spontaneously in 2012, from the meeting of activists and activists flocked from all over Germany and Europe, still a lively space of coexistence and a daily laboratory of libertarian politics. A somewhat abstract and apparently timeless dimension, founded on a choice of absolute equality and friendship even with the non-human inhabitants of the forest, hidden in the thick of an ecosystem that disappears. A radical experience, now elevated to a symbol by the ecological movements of half of Europe.
