No Meeting Tonight + The Cove Film Screening Thurs!

[christine]

Hey Everyone,

We will not be meeting this Tuesday because it's midterm week (good
luck!). We have a film screening of "The Cove" scheduled for this
Thursday, Oct 21st. Join us in the Eisenhower Hall Media Room
(President's Park) from 7 to 9pm, for this exceptional film and some
vegan snacks! This event co-hosted with the GMU Environmental Action
Group (EAG).

"THE COVE" SYNOPSIS: Academy Award® Winner for Best Documentary of
2009, THE COVE follows an elite team of activists, filmmakers and
freedivers as they embark on a covert mission to penetrate a remote
and hidden cove in Taiji, Japan, shining a light on a dark and deadly
secret. The film highlights the fact that the number of dolphins
killed in the Taiji dolphin hunting drive is several times greater
than the number of whales killed in the Antarctic, and reports that
23,000 dolphins and porpoises are killed in Japan every year in the
country's whaling industry. The result is a provocative mix of
investigative journalism, eco-adventure and arresting imagery, adding
up to an unforgettable story that has inspired audiences worldwide to
action.
