On April 26, 350 Santa Fe continues its film series on climate change with a pair of half hour documentaries showing the impacts of global warming and oil and gas production on two different parts of the planet.

Land of Sacrifice describes in vivid detail the impacts of oil and gas production in the Permian and San Juan Basins of New Mexico. It makes visible the escape of methane gas into the atmosphere, documenting its impacts on the climate as well as on the health of people in nearby communities. Filmmaker Annie Ersinghaus will be present to discuss the film and answer questions.

Arctic Alchemy then takes us to the far northern regions of the planet, showing how global warming is dramatically affecting that distant and pristine region of the Earth. It also describes the personal journey of climate scientist Roman Dial, who will join us remotely to discuss his explorations.

The program begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Center for Contemporary Arts, 1050 Old Pecos Trail in Santa Fe. Admission is free. Tax deductible donations to support the continuation of our educational programs are gratefully accepted at 350santafe.org. (Education fund), or at the theater on the day of the program.
