About the Film

A Mirror of the Cosmos is more than a documentary—it’s an exploration of how one small lagoon tells a much larger story about the consequences of exploitation and the urgent need for change. Through the lens of the Mar Menor, Carbonell illustrates the broader impacts of capitalism on the natural world, showing the delicate balance between human industry and environmental preservation. From the invasive blue crabs to the toxic nitrates in the water, the lagoon’s story is a powerful metaphor for our global environmental crisis.

This screening is a great opportunity to engage with the crucial conversations it ignites about the future of our planet. Whether you are a student, an academic, or part of the staff, as someone who cares deeply about the environment, this event is for yout. Don’t miss the chance to be part of this vital conversation—one that could shape the way we think about our relationship with nature and the future of sustainability.
