Here is your chance to see Hot Docs 2009 Official Selection: H2Oil!

On Monday July 6, at 7:00 pm at the Bloor Street Cinema, Trinity-Spadina MP Olivia Chow will be hosting a free screening, followed by a discussion featuring three panelists.

H2Oil which premiered at this year’s Hot Docs film festival with two sold out shows is the second in our Oil Sands series, and offers deeper insight into the plight of those dealing with the consequences of tar sands development. The documentary follows a voyage of discovery, heartbreak and politicization in the stories of those attempting to defend water in Alberta against tar sands expansion.

Panelists:
Shannon Walsh – Writer and Director of H2Oil. Her short fiction and documentary films have screened around the world from Bangkok to Rio de Janeiro.

Clayton Thomas-Muller – The Indigenous Environmental Network is an activist for Indigenous rights and environmental justice.

David Booz – Harbord Village Residents Association will discuss the HERO Project (Home Energy Retrofit Opportunity), which is a program run by the HVRA aimed at collectively decreasing energy consumption and GHG emissions within the local community.
