A River Below
February 19, 2018 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Activism and its Impacts: A River Below (directed by Mark Grieco, 86m, 2017)
Introduced by Dr. Shannon Gowans, associate professor of Biology and Marine Science at Eckerd College.
In their efforts to save the endangered pink river dolphin in the Amazon, Marine biologist Fernando Trujillo and TV host Richard Rasmussen put the livelihoods of local people at risk. A River Below captures the Amazon in all its complexity as it examines the actions of environmental activists using the media in an age where truth is a relative term.
(All screenings take place in the Miller Auditorium of Eckerd College, 4200 54th Ave. S., St. Pete, FL; Free and open to the public)
