From the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County:

Environmental Defenders’ Education Committee to show documentary film “Earth Days” on EARTH DAY

Woodstock, IL – April 12, 2019– The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County in partnership with MCC’s Sustainability Center announces a free showing of Earth Days – a story of our growing awareness and understanding of the environmental crisis and emergence of a popular movement to confront it during the 1960s and ’70s.

“On the one hand, there are the environmentalists and the ecologically minded bills signed into law by several presidents. On the other, there’s automobile pollution, endangered and extinct species and reckless farming practices.

“This wide-ranging documentary looks at both aspects of the American environmental movement — its triumphs and its failures.”

Nominations: Writers Guild of America Award for Best Documentary Screenplay.  Discussion to follow.  Directed by Robert Stone.

When:  EARTH DAY – Monday, April 22 from 7 PM until 9PM.   Doors open at 6:30. 

Where: Luecht Conference Center, McHenry County College, 8900 U.S. Highway 14 in Crystal Lake.  Event is free to the public, but donations appreciated.

The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County helps educate the public on environmental issues through our quarterly documentary film series held at McHenry County College and co-sponsored with the Sustainability Center.
