BEAT THE HEAT – KlimaSeniorinnen vs. Switzerland (original title: TROP CHAUD) is the documentary film about women in retirement age from all over Switzerland who have filed a lawsuit at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasburg, accusing their country of doing too little to combat climate change.
On 9 April 2025 – one year after Switzerland was reprimanded for its climate policy – «BEAT THE HEAT – KlimaSeniorinnen vs. Switzerland» celebrates its premiere in Berne and will then be shown across the country. The Strasburg court is part of the Swiss legal system, but the Swiss Federal Council does not want to implement the ruling. A spectre is haunting (not only) Europe – the spectre of climate change. What is going on? What is happening to the rule of law, the separation of powers? Why can’t the world find answers to the greatest challenge of our time?
