2002, kurz nach 9/11 begeben sich drei junge Männer auf eine Reise durch Afghanistan mit dem Ziel das Leben der Menschen dort festzuhalten. Mit dabei ist neben Paolo und Serge auch Claude, ein Schweizer Filmemacher. Nach seiner Rückkehr gehen die Tapes verloren und tauchen erst 20 Jahre später wieder auf und werden zu einer Zeitkapsel. Der Film Riverboom ist die filmische Rekonstruktion des Abenteuers.
Am 26. Mai um 19:30 Uhr zeigen wir die Doku im Treibhaus Luzern. Im Anschluss folgt ein Videointerview mit Regisseur Claude Berchtold. Ein Billet oder eine Reservation brauchst du nicht, es wird eine freiwillige Kollekte geben.
Barrierefreiheit: Das Treibhaus (Beiz, Veranstaltungsraum, Garten, Perfola) ist für Rollstuhlfahrer:innen zugänglich. Ein Teil des Gartens besteht aus Pflastersteinbodern und der andere Teil aus einem Kiesboden. Im Erdgeschoss befindet sich ein barrierefreies WC. Die WCs sind alle genderneutral.

Join for a hike with the forever community, the alumni network of foraus.
We will meet at Biel/Bienne station and take the funicular up to Magglingen, where we can enjoy the stunning views. From there, we will hike over the Twannberg/Mont Douanne, stop for a picnic, and continue towards the Twannbachschlucht/Gorges de Douanne. We will follow the river through the beautiful gorge until we reach the shores of Lake Biel/Bienne. At the lake, we can either go for a swim or sample some local wines before heading back.
If the weather is bad, we will meet anyway and follow an alternative program.
Meeting Point: Main Hall of the train station Biel/Bienne at 10:45
What to bring: All you need for a small hike, picnic for lunch and your swimsuit
Costs: You pay for yourself. The fee for the funicular is around 8 CHF and can be bought via the SBB app (included in the GA). For the Twannbachschlucht/Gorges de Douanne, there is a visitor’s fee of 2 CHF (payable by cash or TWINT).
