Description

Join us for a showing of the documentary Last Call at the Oasis. This compelling film by acclaimed filmmaker Jessica Yu examines the current and future global water situation. Water is the world’s most important natural resource and while Maine has an abundance of fresh, clean water, that is not the case elsewhere in the world. Featuring a combination of expert interviews (including Erin Brockovich, who talks at length about the real-life Hinkley, CA, pollution case that was adapted into the popular film that bears her name), comedy sketches (some featuring Jack Black) and cleverly edited montages, Last Call at the Oasis also examines what can be done to help save our freshwater supplies before it's too late. The film will be followed by an opportunity to discuss the issues raised with experts from the drinking water community. This film is rated PG-13; the event is geared toward an adult audience. Light refreshments will be served.
