"The Great Warming", a new Canadian film that has been called "the best film about global warming ever produced", will be shown at St. Michael's Episcopal Church on Putney Rd. in Brattleboro on Wednesday, October 18 at 7:00 p.m.
Narrated by Alanis Morissette and Keanu Reeves, The Great Warming
sweeps around the world to reveal how a changing climate is affecting us all.
The Great Warming examines evidence that human activities are
provoking an unprecedented era of atmospheric warming and climatic
events: more drought, wildfires and flooding, polar melting, more
powerful storms and more variable weather. The Great Warming also
showcases initiatives aimed at reversing the trend toward permanent
damage to our planet, as well as scenes documenting the emerging
voice of America's faith community urging action on climate change.
Filmed around the world, this wide-ranging, compelling film taps into the growing groundswell of public concern about climate change to present an emotional, accurate picture of the challenge facing the earth and its inhabitants.
After the film, a panel discussion will feature Tom Wessels, professor of environmental science at Antioch New England University in Keene, NH, and author of the new book "The Myth of Progress: Toward a Sustainable Future."
The film and discussion are co-sponsored by Brattleboro Climate Protection, St. Michael's Episcopal Church, All Souls Unitarian Church, Windham Environmental Coalition, Bonnyvale Environmental Education Center, Vermonters For A Fair Economy and Environmental Protection, and Post-Oil Solutions.
Admission is by donation.
