This month’s films for Earth Cinema Circle include Addicted to Plastic, Summer Storm, The Story of Stuff and Red Gold.
Addicted to Plastic is a documentary that examines our dependence on one of the most ubiquitous, and alternately toxic, man-made substances on the planet: plastic. The film carries a hopeful message about a pollutant that challenges all life on the planet, from the sea, to the land, and even the air we breathe.
Summer Storm is an animated short film that follows two friends who save their neighborhood, and the world, with science!
In, The Story of Stuff, Annie Leonard, an expert on international sustainability and environmental health issues, looks at the underside of production and consumption in the United States.
Red Gold features filmmakers Travis Rummel and Ben Knight who spend 70 days in rural Bristol Bay, Alaska, documenting the conflict, beauty and way of life for sockeye salmon fisherman. This tight-knit community is fighting for Pebble Mine, a copper and gold mine at the headwaters of the Kvicchak and Nushagak Rivers, the two largest sockeye salmon runs on the planet.
