Please join us for a &quot;Dark Waters&quot; film screening and youth led talk story event. The community&#x27;s power to impel the defueling and decommissioning of the Red Hill fuel tanks turns our attention to the next challenge: ensuring our water is free of forever chemicals like Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The film &quot;Dark Waters&quot; is one community&#x27;s story of their fight to remediate PFAS impact. As the harmful impacts of PFAS continue to unravel and affect our ῾āina and wai, we stand with communities to demand more stringent standards so that future generations can rely on land and water free from forever chemicals. The trailer for &quot;Dark Waters&quot; can be viewed <a href="https://www.focusfeatures.com/dark-waters" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>. In addition to the film, there will be educational booths by local environmental organizations, donation-based food, and a youth-led discussion on the status of Red Hill, PFAS in Hawaiʻi and more. This event is family friendly and welcomes all ages! Please RSVP by Wednesday, August 2. O﻿la i ka wai!
