The Planet in Focus environmental film festival kicks off in Toronto on October 12th. And we're looking to give away two tickets to the Waking the Green Tiger screening at the ROM theatre on Sunday afternoon (October 16th).
Waking the Green Tiger:
Seen through the eyes of activists, farmers, and journalists Waking the Green Tiger follows an extraordinary, campaign to stop a huge dam project on the upper Yangtze river in southwestern China. Featuring astonishing archival footage never seen outside China, and interviews with a government insider and witnesses, the documentary also tells the history of Chairman Mao's campaigns to conquer nature in the name of progress
An environmental movement takes root when a new
environmental law is passed and for the first time in China's
history, ordinary citizens have the democratic right to speak out and take part
in government decisions. Activists test
their freedom and save a river. The
movement they trigger has the potential to transform China.
Leave a comment below by Noon on Friday Oct 14th and we'll randomly select one winner! (Transportation is not included).
