Death by Design, the
second film of the 2018-2019 season of The
Elements: An Annual Environmental Film Series, will be shown on Monday,
November 5, 2018. The film investigates the underbelly of the electronics
industry, from factories in China, to a NY community, to Silicon Valley, and
shows how our ever-present smartphones, tablets, laptops and personal computers
have deadly environmental and health costs (www.deathbydesignfilm.com).
The film screening will be held at 7pm in Chapman Hall on
the campus of Middlesex Community College, 100 Training Hill Road, Middletown,
CT. Parking is available in the main lot
as you enter campus. As always, the film is open to the public and free of
charge.
Additional films in the 2018-2019 series are:
Growing Cities, February 4, 2019 at Wesleyan University, Powell

Anthropocene, April 1, 2019 at Middlesex Community College, Chapman
Hall, about the potential of a new geological epoch coined the Anthropocene,

expert in the film’s topic. Join us for
