Fall Sustainable Film Series

Every semester, ECU Sustainability hosts a series of film screenings followed by a discussion. This discussion is led by someone with experience relating to the film’s topic. This can range from experts in the field who have done research to those who have personal experience.

These screenings occur monthly and start at 6 pm in the Black Box Theater. We hope to see you there!

The film addresses some of the biggest challenges facing life on our planet, providing a snapshot of global nature loss in a single lifetime. With it comes a powerful message of hope for future generations as Attenborough reveals the solutions to help save our planet from disaster.”
