Today, this tiny, barren island is experiencing an economic boon as tourism skyrockets. Yet the indigenous culture and the island’s fragile environment are suffering. In their own voices, these Rapanui reveal the reality of modern life and the actions they are taking to preserve their culture and environment amidst rapid development. “Eating Up Easter” reveals and suggests ways forward in tackling the universal complexities of balancing growth and sustainability faced by local communities worldwide.Teens and young adults encouraged to attend. &quot;PG-13&quot; May contain heavy themes, graphic images or language. ﻿Before the film, enjoy an interactive Young Filmmakers Contest Honorable Mention short film, &quot;Tossed,&quot; by Patrick Thomas Keen, a Senior at Columbia College Chicago.
