Croatan Earth First Presents: Green (the film)

Sep 11 2010 - 7:00pm
Sep 11 2010 - 9:30pm

An extraordinary film that through the agony of an orangutan succeeds in showing the drama of deforestation and the extinction of forests. Every spasm of Green’s pain is a cry against the destruction that a man is doing to nature. Through the story the author manages to oppose the natural system and the richness of biodiversity with the unsustainable agricultural system. A touching, emotional, worrisome but bright and objective film outlines the dreadful situation of the contemporary society.
