Go Green Park Ridge with the support of the Park Ridge Sustainability Commission are sponsoring a screening of the One Earth Film Festival “Water Program”.
“Upstream, Downriver” takes viewers into the heart of the battle for water justice. Powerful stories with frontline community activists are interwoven with historical context about landmark regulations.
In “Wings of Dust” Vidal Merma, a Peruvian Indigenous journalist, risks his life daily to secure a future where his son, Erik, can savor the simple joy of drinking clean water. This film won the 2023 Gold Medal in the Student Academy Awards.
Two short films will precede the feature films: “The Island” by Mahmut Taş and “Submerged” by Neo Sky James. “Submerged” tied for the Animation Prize in the One Earth Young Filmmakers Contest 2023.
Doors open at 5:15 – program begins at 6:00 pm.
