New Josh Fox movie screening

Posted

NARROWSBURG, NY — The full name of Josh Fox’s new movie is “How to Let Go of the World and Love All the Things Climate Can’t Change.” Critics have generally liked it, though some also say it’s tough to watch because of the seemingly intractable situations the film considers. You can judge for yourself on Saturday, June 25, when Damascus Citizens for Sustainability (DCS) will host a screening of the film at the Tusten Theatre at 7 p.m.

Fox rose to fame with his two “Gasland” movies, and this one takes the climate change argument even further. Promotional material says that Fox “continues in his deeply personal style, investigating climate change—the greatest threat our world has ever known. Traveling to 12 countries on six continents, the film acknowledges that it may be too late to stop some of the worst consequences and asks, what is it that climate change can’t destroy? What is so deep within us that no calamity can take it away?”

Among the people who appear in the documentary are the environmentalist Bill McKibben, who wrote the book “The End of Nature” and founded the website 350.org.

Also in the film is Lester Brown, who founded the World Watch Institute, the first research institute that analyzes global environmental issues.

Fox, who has a home in the area, will be on hand for the screening, and he and the founders of DCS, to which the original “Gasland” is dedicated, will take part in a discussion after the screening.

Donations are requested. To reserve a seat, send an email to dcs@Damascus Citizens.org or call 845/252-6677.
