Environmental Film Festival Presents Not Without Us
What: Special Year-round Festival Screening of Not Without Us (USA, 2016, 90
min.), followed by discussion with filmmaker Mark Decena
When: Thursday, August 18, 7:00 p.m.
Where: E Street Cinema, 555 11 th St., NW
Who: Presented by the Environmental Film Festival in the Nation’s Capital
How: Tickets, $10. Reservations required. Purchase at http://notwithoutus.bpt.me/
Film Description: Not Without Us immerses us in the moving, personal journeys of
seven grassroots activists from around the world as they prepare and head to Paris
to challenge the 21st session of the United Nations Climate Change Conference
(COP21) that took place in Paris last December. Building on the momentum of the
2014 People’s Climate March in New York, the Paris mobilizations were slated to be
civil societies’ largest and most urgent show of force yet. The deal made there was
acclaimed as a historic success, but the film examines the type of agreement that
was adopted and the questions that still remain: Can the COP21 Agreement stop
climate change? If it can’t, is it up to us? In English and French with English subtitles.
Directed by Mark Decena.
