On Monday, October 29, the Environmental Defenders of
McHenry County will present the documentary "Sun Come Up" at McHenry
County College’s Luecht Conference Center, 8900 US Hwy 14, Crystal Lake, IL.
The screening is free and open to the public. (donations to help cover costs
are happily accepted). Doors open at 6:30pm, movie starts at 7pm.
" Sun Come Up is an Academy Award® nominated film that shows the human face of climate change. The film follows the relocation of the Carteret Islanders, a community living on a remote island chain in the South Pacific Ocean, and now, some of the world’s first environmental refugees. When climate change threatens their survival, the islanders face a painful decision. They must leave their ancestral land in search of a new place to call home. Sun Come Up follows a group of young islanders as they search for land and build relationships in war-torn Bougainville, 50 miles across the open ocean.”
A question/answer discussion will follow, led by Rick Johnson and Bill Donato.
This event is co-sponsored by Environmental Defenders of McHenry County, McHenry County Transition Group, MCC's Down to Earth Club, and the Green Club at Prairie Ridge High School, and hosted by MCC Sustainability Center.
