The Closing of a Refinery

The decision to shut down Northern Portugal’s largest oil refinery was far from unanimous. I tried to understand why and what this means in face of our current climate crisis. Failing to find answers, I asked ChatGPT to enlighten me. This film is the result of that conversation, a reflection on sustainability, the shift towards green energy, and the future of humankind.
