End of the LineJanuary 12 - END OF THE LINE - reveals the impact of overfishing on our oceans.  Scientists predict that at the current rate of fishing, most seafood will be gone by 2048.  The movie points to solutions that are simple and doable and will ensure a supply of seafood for future generations.  Check out the trailer at www.endoftheline.com

TappedFebruary 9 - TAPPED - looks at the environmental damage and health risks created by bottled water.  Is access to clean drinking water a basic human right or a commodity to be bought and sold?  Just two startling facts - 40% of bottled water is just tap water (so why pay for it?) and two million tons of plastic garbage created by bottled water  is in landfills, or worse, in the ocean.  This movie will make you think twice before you pick up another plastic water bottle.  www.tappedthemovie.com

Fresh the MovieMarch 9 - FRESH - a positive look at how farmers, thinkers and business people across America are re-inventing our food system to forge healthier, sustainable alternatives to agri-business.  This movie will get you enthused about your food again and get you itching to be in the garden.
