Before the Flood

Free showing of Before the Flood tonight in Morris Library:

I hope you will join us this Thursday, 2/8/18, the two-part Shawnee Sierra Club program: 

--The 7 pm screening of climate activist and actor Leonardo DiCaprio's film "Before the Flood" in SIU Morris Library's Guyon Auditorium
AND 
--The 6:15 pm tabling of student environmental and social justice groups starting in the Rotunda (just outside the auditorium). 

BOTH PARTS OF THIS PROGRAM ARE FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. 
REFRESHMENTS WILL BE SERVED.

In "Before the Flood," a 2016 film by Academy Award-winning director Fisher Stevens, actor Leonardo DiCaprio travels to five continents to talk with climate scientists and political leaders and give us an up-close understanding of climate change and the activism needed to protect our Planet. In DiCaprio's own words: "This documentary shows how interconnected the fate of all humanity is-but also the power we all possess as individuals to build a better future for our planet."

During the pre-screening portion of this event, you will have a chance to meet environmental student leaders and find out about activities and projects of five student groups: the Geography Club; SENSE (Students Embracing Nature, Sustainability & the Environment); the Society of American Foresters; Define American; and Green Fund Campus Lake Eco-Recreation Projects Group.

We very much hope to see you at this important event. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Shawnee Group of the Sierra Club
