The Green Chain Friday, June 5 • 7:30pm • $6
* This film is presented as part of LPCA's Curated Film Series and may feature a guest speaker (tba). Presented as part of the LPCA's Green Elephant Sale weekend.
The battle between loggers and environmentalists is defining, dividing and destroying communities in Canada and around the world. The Green Chain is a powerful, funny and thought-provoking film about the conflicts between people on both sides of the battle who love trees -- and are willing to risk anything to protect their personal visions of the forest. (Dir. Mark Leiren-Young)
