This Week's Films:
WATER, LAND, PEOPLE, CONFLICT (1998, 29 min.)
Today, the greatest threats facing any nation's security may not be military threat. Increasingly, they are complex issues related to the environment such as: population growth, water scarcity, pollution, and economic stability.
From the defoliation of the forests in Vietnam, to the oil fires of Kuwait, all major wars of the 20th century, and current conflicts like Kosovo, have had a hidden casualty: the environment. Unexploded weapons, polluted rivers, contaminated soil, and damaged landscapes have all harmed human health, local economies, and ecosystems. The long-term effects of such environmental damage have not yet been fully determined.
It is recommended to arrive at 6:30pm to get a cupcake and a beverage. The film will begin at 7:00pm.
Location: Cupcake Café (545 9th Ave. between 40th and 41st)
