When does practice become protest? Or protest, poetry?
Ackroyd & Harvey: The Art of Activism is the latest film from award winning documentary maker Fiona Cunningham-Reid. An intimate portrait of internationally acclaimed artists, Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey, who work at the intersection of art, activism, biology and ecology, and their quest to shake humanity into action on climate catastrophe – whatever the personal cost.
Intrinsically bound up in protest, the film follows the pair collaborating with Extinction Rebellion, and co-founding the movement, Culture Declares Emergency. Their work is uncompromisingly preoccupied with the climate and ecological crisis, and has become a rallying point for the environmental movement. It’s won them international acclaim, but the film leaves us in no doubt – they’d be creating it whether the world was watching or not.
COMING TO CINEMAS SEPTEMBER 2025
