Hey everyone! Check out this amazing movie event happening Monday, March 28 from 5:30-8pm in Ward 2.
Here is a summary of the movie, Sweet Crude:
"In a small corner of the most populous country in Africa, billions of dollars of crude oil fl ow under the feet of a desperate people. Immense wealth and abject poverty stand in stark contrast. The environment is decimated. The issues are complex, the answers elusive. The documentary film Sweet Crude tells the story of Nigeria’s Niger Delta. The region is seething and the global stakes are high. But in this moment, there’s an opportunity to find solutions. What if the world paid attention before it was too late?"
The filmmaker will be there to provide insight and answer questions. Also, a woman who lives in one of the oil-producing communities in the Niger Delta may also be joining!
Hope to see you all there!
