Sustainability Film Series 2019: RiverBlue

March 06, 2019

Through harsh chemical manufacturing processes and the irresponsible disposal of toxic chemical waste, one of our favorite iconic products has destroyed rivers and impacted the lives of people who count on these waterways for their survival. This documentary examines the destruction of our rivers, its effect on humanity, and the solutions that inspire hope for a sustainable future. It focuses on the power of water and the importance it has in multiple cultures, while exploring the international inequity of manufacturing processes, global consumerism and capitalism.

Watch RiverBlue and enjoy some free food followed by a panel discussion with students, faculty and community members.

When: Wednesday, March 6 | 6 - 9 p.m.
Where: 100, 10 Church St SE (Former Bell Museum Auditorium)
The event is free and open to everyone.

RiverBlue is presented in partnership with the Weavers Guild of Minnesota as part of their Fiber to the People! Program, a year-long series exploring sustainable pre-Industrial Revolution weaving, spinning, and dyeing methods.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
