A CHEMICAL REACTION Screening

Clean Water Action presents A CHEMICAL REACTION, on Thursday, October 20, 2011 at 6:30 PM. This film is an inspiring story of how a tiny Canadian town stood up against powerful pesticide chemical companies and WON. When the town of Hudson banned the use of chemical pesticides in their community due to health concerns, little did they know it was the beginning of a legal battle with some of the most mighty chemical companies. Filled with quirky town characters, this heart-warming film shows how a sheep-herding dermatologist and a determined small town city council take on big corporations and win. After the film, learn what you can do to reduce and eliminate pesticide use in your home and community. Sponsored by Clean Water Action. Learn more about the film and view the trailer.

a search for night on a planet that never sleeps

After moving to New York City from rural Maine, filmmaker Ian Cheney (KING CORN, TRUCK FARM) asks a simple question, “Do we need the stars?” Exploring the threat of killer asteroids in Hawaii, tracking hatching turtles along the Florida coast, and rescuing injured birds on Chicago streets, Cheney unravels the myriad implications of a globe glittering with lights – including increased breast cancer rates from exposure to light at night, and a generation of kids without a glimpse of the universe above.
