Description

Leonardo DiCaprio’s great documentary presents the topics of human ecology, environmental destruction and global climate change and how humans have directly and swiftly caused ecological change on a global scale. The films’s initial goal is to raise awareness of the issues associated with these topics and their implications for the future, but the larger goal is to show that human’s, as a species, can switch their implied role in nature from one that is dominant and hostile to it, to one that is integrated and beneficial to the one and only planet that is known to support life.

Food Fight-November 13th at Craig Aud.

Don’t miss this eye-opening documentary on the realities of our industrial, heavily subsidized food system that is controlled by only a handful of massive multi-national corporations. Food Fight, directed by Chris Taylor, will make you think more about the hard-to-swall0w concept of where your groceries originate.

Seating starts at 3:00pm-Friday Nov. 13 at the Craig Auditorium: Building GEB 233 of JCCC. Showing is free but donations to SEA supporting sustainability initiatives at JCCC are welcome.
