Free screening of “Spoil”

Enbridge Inc. is planning to build a pipeline for heavy crude oil from the Alberta tar sands across B.C. to the coast of the pristine Great Bear Rainforest. The tar sands in northern Alberta are arguably one of the world’s most environmentally-devastating extractive industries and the proposed Enbridge Gateway pipeline project would put one of our planet’s most ecologically-sensitive and intact marine ecosystems at risk for a catastrophic oil spill through increased mega tanker traffic.

The International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP) teamed up with Pacific WILD, the Gitga’at First Nation of British Columbia, LightHawk, TidesCanada, Save our Seas Foundation, Sierra Club BC, and the Dogwood initiative to carry out a Rapid Assessment Visual Expedition (RAVE) in the Great Bear Rainforest of British Columbia. They focused their energy and cameras on this pristine region in response to plans by Enbridge Inc.  to build the Gateway pipeline. The 14-day expedition to the Great Bear Rainforest called upon 7 world-renowned photographers and 3 videographers to thoroughly document the region’s landscapes, wildlife, and culture. The RAVE provided media support to the First Nations and environmental groups seeking to stop the proposed Enbridge Gateway pipeline project (and thus expansion of the tar sands) and to expose the plan to lift the oil tanker ship moratorium.

Please join us December 6th at 6:30 pm at Annette Library to view Spoil , the award-winning documentary by iLCP and Pacific WILD. (See http://pacificwild.org/ )
