Don’t miss our screening of the captivating film,Chasing Ice, winner of the best cinematography at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. This film is part of the Sustainable Fairfax Environmental Film Series shown at the Fairfax Women’s Club, in partnership with the Town of Fairfax.

I saw this film last year, and was moved by the powerful images and videos captured by National Geographic photographer James Balog. His efforts to gather the visual evidence of our changing planet are simply awe-inspiring.

Dr. Peter Joseph of the Climate Reality Project and Citizens Climate Lobby will provide his insight after the film and lead a short discussion.

The doors will open at 6:30pm and the movie starts at 7:00pm. We suggest a donation of $5-$15 to support the important work of Sustainable Fairfax.
