Dear Friends of Green Green Water,

You are invited to a special screening of Green Green Water at the Bell Museum of Natural History on the heels of an announcement by Xcel Energy that they wish to turn to hydroelectric power from Manitoba Hydro to make up for a future shortfall in power supply. This means customers of Xcel Energy will be using even more electricity generated by Manitoba Hydro, power sold as "green energy" to U.S. consumers that has adversely impacted the environment, as well as the Cree communities of Northern Manitoba. Check out the articles recently published by the Pioneer Press and Star Tribune.

A post screening panel, including Senator Scott Dibble (DFL), Ken Bradley of Fresh Energy, Dawn Mikkelson (Director of Green Green Water), and Jamie A. Lee (Co-Director/Editor of Green Green Water) will give the audience an opportunity to learn more about the issue, as well as the making of this important film. Following the screening there will be a post-show reception in the Bell Museum.

This screening is sponsored by the Bell Museum of Natural History as part of their Science on Screen film program, U of M EcoWatch, Fresh Energy, and the U of M chapter of Amnesty Intnernational.

We hope you will join us on November 30 at 7pm at the Bell Museum!

Peace,
Dawn Mikkelson
Director/Producer

Green Green Water Film Description

As an average American consumer, filmmaker Dawn Mikkelson embarks on a journey to investigate where the "green energy" she is purchasing through Xcel Energy comes from. Her trip takes her to northern Manitoba, where hydroelectric dams have left massive environmental devastation in their wake and deep divisions in the communities about further development in the area. Allegations of bribery and government corruption surface. In this captivating and eye-opening documentary, the filmmakers explore the complexity of cultures in collision and the effects of environmental destruction on a way of life.
