Lakehead University presents a screening of The Carbon Rush and Q&A with director Amy Miller
March 25, 2019 – Orillia, ON
Join Lakehead University’s Research Centre for Sustainable Communities (RCSC) for a screening of the documentary The Carbon Rush on Thursday, March 28 at 5:45 p.m. in room 2018, at the Orillia campus. A Q&A with director Amy Miller will follow the screening.
From indigenous rainforest dwellers having their way of life completely threatened, to dozens of Campesinos assassinated, to the livelihood of waste pickers at landfills taken away, The Carbon Rush travels across four continents and brings us up close to projects working through the United Nations, Kyoto Protocol designed Clean Development Mechanism. This groundbreaking documentary feature asks the fundamental questions “What happens when we manipulate markets to solve the climate crisis? Who stands to gain and who stands to suffer?”
Directed and produced by Amy Miller and co-produced by Bryon A. Martin, The Carbon Rush was released in 2012.
This event is free and open to the public.
