Death by Design Next Film in Environmental Film Series

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:
