'Nature' documentary screening Canberra - Citizen COP 2026

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.

The film runs for approximately 1 hour 45 minutes.

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.
