Christopher Martin’s Story - The Environmental Consequences of Banking

A short film commissioned by Market Forces, an activist group that aims to shift banks, superannuation and insurance out of activities that harm the environment.

Christopher, an 83-year-old man, has banked with HSBC since serving as a Gurkha 65 years ago. He has recently switched banks as it has come to light that they are one of the biggest global investors in fossil fuels.

As well as being distributed on social media, the film was projected outside the HSBC AGM in Southbank London as part of protests against their willing destruction of the environment.
