Right to Harm (March 9 @Northwestern University's Simpson Querrey Center)
Film + Discussion
Annie Speicher & Matt Wechsler/2019/75 min/Sustainable Food & Agriculture, Health & the Environment, Environmental & Social Justice, Water
FILM DESCRIPTION: Through the riveting stories of five American communities, “Right to Harm” exposes the devastating public health impact that factory farming has on many of our country's most disadvantaged citizens. Known formally as Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations—or CAFOs—these facilities produce millions of gallons of untreated waste that destroy the quality of life for nearby neighbors. Fed up with the lack of regulation, these citizens-turned-activists band together from across the country to demand justice.
Join us after the film for Q&A with Annie Speicher, Director of "Right to Harm." Also learn about related opportunities for action from Food and Water Watch, and As You Sow. Facilitator: Jim Haried, Partner, Environmental Resources Management.
Doors open 30 minutes before start time. Arrive early to avoid lines and get best seats. ADA compliant accessible venue. Teens and young adults encouraged to attend. "PG-13" May contain heavy themes, graphic images or language.
