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!

September 19:The Human Element: 

“With rare compassion and heart, “The Human Element” follows environmental photographer James Balog on his quest to highlight Americans on the frontlines of climate change, inspiring us to re-evaluate our relationship with the natural world.”

October 17: David Attenborough:  A Life on Our Planet: 

“In this unique feature documentary, titled David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet, the celebrated naturalist reflects upon both the defining moments of his lifetime and the devastating changes he has seen. 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.”

November 21: Powerlands:

“A young Navajo filmmaker investigates the displacement of Indigenous people and the devastation of the environment caused by the same chemical companies that have exploited the land where she was born. On this personal and political journey, she learns from Indigenous activists across three continents.”
