Event Description:
Food for Thought Film Series FREE film Co-sponsored by the Moscow Food Co-op
The Moscow Food Co-op is proud to present “Last Call at the Oasis” for the Food for Thought Film Series. The free film will be shown at 7 p.m., Wednesday, November 18 at the Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre in downtown Moscow. The event is co-sponsored by City of Moscow's Sustainable Environment Commission and the University of Idaho Sustainability Center.
The Food for Thought Film Series, presented by the Moscow Food Co-op, features an entertaining and thought-provoking film. Middle school students from Palouse Prairie School of Expeditionary Learning will also have their final projects related to water on display and will be available to talk with community members about what they have learned beginning at 6 p.m.
Film summary: While water is arguably one of the world's most important natural resources, surprisingly little is being done to preserve the global water supply. As a number of leading scientists have produced evidence suggesting the amount of potable water is diminishing at an alarming rate, now is the time to learn more and act fast. “Last Call at the Oasis” exposes flaws in the current water system, shows communities already struggling with the detrimental impacts and highlights leaders looking for innovative solutions related to water. Issues such as irresponsible management allow massive amounts of water to go to waste, and lenient regulation of corporations has led to pollution that causes additional and unexpected problems. Featuring a combination of expert interviews (including Erin Brockovich), comedy sketches, and cleverly edited montages, the film offers an entertaining way to learn more about the dangers we face related to water supply as well as the people working toward resolving and solving some of the problems focused on in the film.
The Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre is located at 508 South Main Street, Moscow, Idaho.
