(Norwich, NY \u2013 Oct. 2013) The public is invited to the first free film of the monthly 2013-2014 \u201cSecond Tuesday Film Series\u201d at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 8 in the Founders Room at the United Church of Christ, 11 West Main, Norwich.<\/p>\n
This screening, another educational documentary on a current issue, is titled \u201cBidder 70.\u201d\u00a0 It is the true story about George W. Bush\u2019s plan to give gas and oil\u00a0corporations thousands of acres of public land at the end of his presidency by fast tracking a federal auction in Utah. A local college student, Tim DeChristopher, put a spotlight on the process by winning the bids to save 22,000 acres of wilderness but did not have the money to pay.<\/p>\n
\u201cBidder 70\u201d is a shocking look at how far our government,\u00a0 working for the energy industry, will go to crush even one voice of objection.\u00a0 It also shows the personal evolution of DeChristopher into an ingenious climate justice leader as he undergoes the consequences.<\/p>\n
The film series, now in its eighth year, screens documentaries about the environment, social justice and peace issues for the public. It is co-sponsored by Chenango County Peace Action and Chenango Community Action for Renewable Energy (C-CARE).\u00a0 The program also offers attendees a light supper at 6:30 before the show and encourages discussion afterwards.\u00a0 Please note parking is available on the street, in the Hayes Street and County Office Building Parking lots, but not in the church\u2019s lot behind it.<\/p>\n
For more information, please call Chris at\u00a0607-334-6095\u00a0or contact Ken at\u00a0ccare@frontier.com.\u00a0 Suggestions for future films and topics to explore are welcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
