Environmental+ :Currents

Three unique and engaging mid-length films, all with environmental ties. From a colonizing water plant choking a beloved lake, to a recently populated island and the challenges facing its new endemic peoples, to a group of grandmothers banding together to fight against coal ash pollution in their town. These three striking stories are not to be missed!
