Yesterday in Brussels, Maria Noichl, MEP, and Ivan Ivanov ( @effat.org ) spoke at the screening of THE PICKERS at Cinéma Aventure.

The public was engaged and moved by the film, the inspiring discussion and the hope that things can change for migrant workers in Europe.

After the 24 km we joined them on yesterday, through woods and fields, we came back motivated by strong conversations about protecting CSDDD and generally upholding human rights in Europe.

We just got back from #MontroseLandxSeaFilmFestival, Scotland's Environmental Film Festival 🌊

Our screening of THE PICKERS ensured the rights of migrant agricultural workers in Europe were seen as a key issue to consider as part of discussions about environmental transformation 🍊
