Want to know about some of the key world issues without reading tons of books? Then join us for our final Green Film showing in partnership with the Friends Centre.

Film Showing: 'The Warning' on Monday 5th July at 7.30pm at Brighton Junction.

This film narrates the struggle faced by a small Siberian community near Lake Baikal, who in an effort to protect their ancient shamanic lands from ‘development’, withstood the big oil companies intent on forging a pipeline through this ancient forest.

Themes

• 'Can anyone really own water’?
• 'Where does money come from?'
• 'What do we eat when the oil runs out?’
• 'Where our oil comes from and at what cost?'
• 'Can we travel by other means?'
• 'Where have all the fish gone?'

Format

Every month, as well as the feature film, we'll show a selection of short films and have a discussion based on the film.

Guest Speaker

We'll be introducing some guest speakers, from organisations such as: Look East Wild Earth and Simpol. So be sure to get there early for a lively Q&A or debate

To book, Visit Friends Centre or call them on 01273 810210.

End of the Line (2010) (Documentary)
DESCRIPTION:As the world's demand for fish and other seafood increases and the technology
available to commercial fisherman becomes more sophisticated, the annual harvest from global
seaports has grown tremendously in recent years. However, the rise of industrialised fishing has
not come without consequences, and many environmentalists and oceanographers believe that
the current demand for fish and the methods used to fulfill it are taking an irreparable toll on the
world's oceans, with some speculating that the seas could be literally fished-out by 2048 if current
trends do not change. Filmmaker Rupert Murray offers an in-depth look at the crisis in the world's
oceans in the documentary THE END OF THE LINE, in which experts discuss some of the key
factors behind the looming shortage -- increased demand for endangered species, irresponsible
methods employed by major fishing lines, lax enforcement of current regulations -- and what can
be done to head off the famine before it's too late.
