Read all about the world record beating People's Premiere here.

Normal film premieres are glitzy and exclusive, with nobody invited except VIPs - but the People's Premiere is different: VIPs, IPs and plain old Ps are all welcome to the world's first INclusive film launch. Featuring synchronised screenings at a staggering 60 different cinemas across the nation. With a solar-powered cinema tent pitched in London's Leicester Square, the People's Premiere is also the planet's first truly green film premiere - no greenwash allowed.

Suzannah Dixon

Suzannah is a full-time youth and student volunteer for Christian Aid in the North West. Christian Aid works in 50 of the poorest countries in the world with people of all faiths and none through 500 local partner organisations to fight poverty at its roots.

Having studied Politics at The University of Manchester, Suzannah has a strong grounding in the political philosophical issues surrounding climate change and its links to poverty. Suzannah first travelled to the developing world in 2006 on a summer volunteering programme in Kenya. Whist living and working within the local community, Suzannah saw many of the causes of poverty she was studying in reality, including climate change. Since then, she has travelled to Mozambique and the Democratic Republic of Congo on development projects and now works full-time in the UK inspiring other young people to get involved and campaign on issues of Global Justice that she is passionate about.
