A Wicked Problem – RICE (Reducing Industrial Carbon Emissions)

Carbon has become a dirty word. Storytelling is one of the key ways in which people understand the problem of climate change and the steps we can take to solve it. We were commissioned by The George Ewart Evans Centre for Storytelling at USW to direct this 30 minute documentary about the work being done in South Wales as part of the RICE Project in Swansea University.

“Working with We Are Torchy was a pleasure from start to end. They were our film partner on the European Regional Development Fund supported RICE project, which sought to explore the impact of carbon transitions in partnership with organisations across South Wales including the University of South Wales, Swansea University, Tata, Rockwool, and Welsh Water. 
We Are Torchy were able to communicate complex problems with simplicity and elegance, bringing a new perspective and making them accessible to a wide audience of stakeholders.  The film that they made has enabled us to start conversations in education, policy, and practice arenas.”
