April 19th – Earth Week Film
Festival ~ Tidemark Theatre
Featuring:
Student films 2012 Compost Video Challenge Feature Film: Bag it! Is your
life too plastic?
"Gripping,
funny, intelligent and sure to change your life." -Louie Psihoyos,
Director of The Cove
Try going a
day without plastic. Plastic is everywhere and infiltrates our lives in
unimaginable and frightening ways. In this touching and often flat-out-funny
film, we follow "everyman" Jeb Berrier, who is admittedly not a tree
hugger, as he embarks on a global tour to unravel the complexities of our
plastic world. What starts as a film about plastic bags evolves into a
wholesale investigation into plastic and its affect on our waterways, oceans,
and even our own bodies. We see how our crazy-for-plastic world has finally
caught up to us and what we can do about it. Today. Right now.
