SLAY

SLAY is a thought provoking documentary from the producers of Cowspiracy and Rebecca Capelli's ( Let us be Heroes ). It takes a unique perspective on the animal skin trade in the fashion industry and what has to change.

This is a featured documentary that brings together a host of celebrities, experts and campaigners to expose unethical practices whilst showcasing practical solutions.

SLAY asks us an important question to consider: Is it acceptable to kill animals for fashion?

This interactive storytelling session, inspired by the book ‘A Tale of the Didgeridoo’, is specially designed for young children and the young at heart! Come hear the extraordinary dreamtime story of the origins of this amazing instrument, and perhaps even learn how to play (and make different Animal sounds!) & create your own Didgeridoo using recycled materials! Participants will also learn special breathing techniques that will empower them to control and regulate their emotions.
