Cornwall Climate Care - Beyond Bricks

About the show

Beyond Bricks is the latest documentary by award-winning charity Cornwall Climate Care

Housing is a basic human requirement - but the construction industry is one of the world’s biggest sources of climate emissions and landfill waste.

Beyond Bricks investigates the balancing act needed to create hundreds of thousands of new homes in the UK without worsening the climate and ecological crises.

This is a particularly sensitive issue in Cornwall, the UK’s ‘capital of second homes’, where many thousands of people are on the housing register while huge numbers of houses lie empty.

Presented by Cornish builder Andy Carr, Beyond Bricks looks at everything from high tech housing solutions to people building with novel, climate-friendly materials, rethinking ‘waste’ and ensuring that our future homes also leave space for nature.

Whether we own or rent our homes, we all need a roof over our heads, and Beyond Bricks is a solutions-focused film to inspire us all.

After the film, take part in a live Q&A hosted by director Bryony Stokes, featuring leading experts.
