'RiverBlue' Film Screening

  • University of Chicago Green Line Performing Arts Center 329 East Garfield Boulevard Chicago, IL, 60637 United States (map)

Following international river conservationist, Mark Angelo, “RiverBlue” spans the globe to infiltrate one of the world’s most pollutive industries, fashion. Narrated by actor and clean water advocate Jason Priestley, this groundbreaking documentary examines the destruction of our rivers, the effects on humanity, and the solutions inspiring hope for a sustainable future. Through harsh chemical manufacturing processes and the irresponsible disposal of toxic chemical waste, one of our favorite iconic clothing items has destroyed rivers and impacted the lives of people who count on these waterways for their survival.

Q&A with film director Roger Williams via Skype following the film.

Teens and young adults encouraged to attend. Doors open 30 minutes before start time. Arrive early to avoid lines and get best seats.
