DESCRIPTION:
This feature length documentary (85 minutes) is based on the acclaimed book by ecologist and cancer survivor Sandra Steingraber, Ph.D., Living Downstream is an eloquent and cinematic documentary that follows Sandra during one pivotal year as she travels across North America, working to break the silence about cancer and its environmental links. After a routine cancer screening, Sandra receives some worrying results and is thrust into a period of medical uncertainty. Thus, we begin two journeys with Sandra: her private struggles with cancer and her public quest to bring attention to the urgent human rights issue of cancer prevention. Several experts in the fields of toxicology and cancer research make important cameo appearances in the film. Their work further illuminates the significant connection between a healthy environment and human health. At once Sandra’s personal journey and her scientific exploration, Living Downstream is a powerful reminder of the intimate connection between the health of our bodies and the health of our air, land, and water. Screening is Free and organic popcorn is provided. A short discussion about the film follows the screening.
