We had a blast partnering with Working Films in 2023 for our Rural Cinema project! Stay tuned in the coming months for possible dates in 2024 for when we’ll go back to the movies!
Rural Cinema: Let’s go to the movies
We're excited to pair with Working Films to bring four different movie screenings to the great outdoors locations in Scott County this summer and fall. Our theme is Films for a Living Future and we'll be watching films about housing, access to nutritious food, clean water, air, and environmental justice. Plan to attend and bring your friends and family. Together we'll learn more about these issues, meet some neighbors, build some community, and plug into ways to take action together here in Iowa. Scroll down to see what screenings we have coming up.
September 28: Right to Harm
Community members from 5 different organizations across the United States-- including two of Iowa's very own experts, Diane Rosenburg and John Ikert--share their stories and experiences living near factory farms in Right to Harm.
This film exposes the health issues and damages to quality of life that surround industrial agriculture and shares how government agencies have failed to regulate factory farms.
Join us on Thursday, September 28th from 7-9PM at Scott County Park to watch and discuss how citizen groups have rallied against Big Ag and industry-loving politicians to fight for clean air, water, and land!
There'll be good snacks and refreshments waiting for you!
October 12: The Lorax
The Lorax is a kid-friendly film with strong environmental justice themes that urge viewers to stand up for our air, water, land, and all the creatures that live here.
This film exposes the health issues and damages to quality of life that surround industrial agriculture and shares how government agencies have failed to regulate factory farms.
Join us on Thursday, October 12th from 6-8PM for the screening at the DeWitt Community Library.
There'll be good snacks and refreshments waiting for you!
