Artifishal will be the next film
in The Elements: An Annual Environmental Film Series.
The film will be shown on Monday, February 3, 2020 at 7pm, at the
Wesleyan University Center for the Arts Ring Family Performing
Arts Hall, 271 Washington Terrace, Middletown, CT (next to the
Zilkha Gallery). As always, the film is open to the public and
free of charge.
Artifishal is about people,
rivers, and the fight for the future of wild fish and the
environment that supports them. It explores wild salmon’s slide
toward extinction, threats posed by fish hatcheries and fish
farms, and our continued loss of faith in nature (www.patagonia.com/artifishal.html) Following the film, we welcome you to stay for an informal
discussion.
We hope you can join us for our third film of the 2019-2020
season, as well as our final film in April (see below). Please
phone the Conservation District office for more information at
860-346-3282.
A Concerned Citizen: Civics in Action, April 6, 2020,
Middlesex Community College, Chapman Hall, highlights the work of
Dr. Riki Ott, a citizen activist who came to the aid of her
Alaskan community after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in their battle
to get fair compensation for their loss of health and income, and
has been organizing the Gulf coast communities as they recover
from the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster. Taking her lessons learned
as an activist, she is spearheading a campaign called Ultimate
Civics, a civics curriculum that empowers students to participate
in their democracy. (www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/ccit.html)
