Pleasant Hill church to host film festival April 2

A film festival that will thoroughly address the worsening global humanitarian water crisis as well as the water crisis in America’s Southwest will take place on Thursday, April 2, in Pleasant Hill Community Church. The church is at Church and Main streets in Pleasant Hill. 
Everyone is invited to attend when they can and to stay as long as they desire. Coffee and refreshments will be provided throughout and some conversation times and short YouTube films may be sandwiched in. 
Before the film festival on water, there will be a reshowing of the award winning "A Sense of Wonder" beginning at 8:30 a.m.
"A Sense of Wonder" is an intimate portrait of Rachael Carson during the last years of her life, as she battled cancer and the chemical industry in the wake of publishing Silent Spring. Her story has been adapted for the screen by actress Kaiulani Lee. Using Carson’s own words, Lee’s portrait of Carson is historically accurate and powerfully moving. In 55 minutes, Carson’s story is told. 
After the film (at 9:30 a.m.) there will be interviews with Carson’s son and Theo Colborn, David Suzuki, Stewart Udall, Richard Louv, Gus Speth and Andrew Kimbrell. Bill Moyers was right saying, “You cannot walk away unmoved.”
At 10 a.m., the documentary "Running Dry" will provide a comprehensive public education on the global water quantity and quality situation and a wake-up call that proves that the real crisis is not oil but water. (82 minutes) 
At 11:30 a.m., the documentary inspired by Senator Paul Simon’s book “Tapped Out: The Coming World Crisis in Water and What We Can Do” called "The American Southwest: Are We Running Dry?" will be show. It provides a definitive look at how the American Southwest is affected by severe drought, urban development, agriculture, climate change and population. (71 minutes)
The program is sponsored by the Green Committee of Pleasant Hill Community Church and the Network for Environmental & Economic Responsibility, United Church of Christ. For further information, contact Don Clark at 277- 5467 or clarkjd@frontiernet.net.
