Northeast Neighbors for Peace and Justice presents:
Friday, March 11 Oil on Ice (2004, 57 minutes) This documentary is an intimate portrayal of the native Gwich’in Indians taking on powerful global energy interests to prevent invasive oil operations threatening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge’s fragile caribou calving grounds on which the Native people’s subsistence has always depended. The Gwich’in call the preserve “the place where life begins.” The film vividly brings home how our energy decisions—both individually and as a society — critically impact the future of our global economy, wildlife, and the environment as well as the survival of an extraordinary traditional culture. This screening is part of a nationwide weekend of screenings being organized by the Sierra Club to activate support for protecting the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and reducing America’s dangerous dependence on oil. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Northeast Neighbors for Peace and Justice Video/Potlucks almost every Friday, Gather about 8:00, movie starts about 8:30, bring food or drink to share if you can. www.FloryCanto.org
