STRANGE DAYS ON PLANET EARTH: Documentary film "Dirty Secrets"

Canadian première of award-winning environmental documentary film. Why are albatross chicks starving even though they have full stomachs? How are fertilizers and striped bass diseases connected? How is tourism putting the Yucatan Peninsula at risk? The documentary series ‘Strange Days on Planet Earth’, narrated by actor and environmentalist Edward Norton and produced by Sea Studios Foundation in collaboration with National Geographic Television, seeks to answer these questions. Mark Shelley from Monterey, California will be visiting Montréal to introduce the documentary and discuss it with the audience afterwards.

Sponsored by the McGill Biology Graduate Students Association (BGSA), in collaboration with the McGill Green Party and the McGill Post Graduate Student Society (PGSS), will screen the episode ‘Dirty Secrets’ in the auditorium of the Redpath Museum. This is the first screening of ‘Dirty Secrets’ in Canada, and signals the launch of a major campaign promoting alternatives to plastic bags.
