January 7, 20107:00 pmto9:00 pm

Split Estate, directed by Debra Anderson, narrated by Ali MacGraw
With discussion, Q&A afterwards with local activists

Fracking Fire

Join us to see this film! Learn even more about this danger to our water and health and prepare for a legislative push at the end of January!

“Split Estate is an eye-opening examination of the consequences and
conflicts that can arise between surface land owners in the western
United States and those who own and extract the energy and mineral
rights below. This film is of value to anyone wrestling with rational,
sustainable energy policy while preserving the priceless elements of
cultural heritage, private enterprise above-ground, and the precious
health not only of people but the land itself.” (Gov. Bill Richardson,
New Mexico) (film time 1hour 16 minutes)

This film fortells the future of CNY if the method of gas drilling known
as “Hydrofracking” is allowed in New York State.  This is a must-see for
anyone who cares about the area in which we live, and the threats to our
area’s excellent drinking water.

Fracking demo

Nation).

brother outsiderDraws on rare archival footage, interviews, and even FBI files, to offer a powerful portrait of this forgotten political activist and Civil Rights strategist. Rustin’s nonviolent philosophy influenced Martin Luther King, but he was also a labor organizer, conscientious objector, and religious intellectual – all troublesome tags in the 20th century – and his open gay life forced him to stay in the background.

SF Gay & Lesbian Film Festival: Best Documentary, Sundance: Grand Jury Prize.
