‘The 11th Hour’ to be Shown at Park Forest’s Unitarian Universalist Community Church on Saturday, June 23


Park Forest, IL—(ENEWSPF)—June 17, 2012.  On Saturday, June 23 at 7 p.m., Leonardo DeCaprio’s documentary ‘The 11th Hour’ will be screened at the Unitarian Universalist Community Church, 70 Sycamore Drive, Park Forest.  A discussion will take place following the movie.  The movie screening is free and open to the public.

With contributions from over 50 politicians, scientists, and environmental activists, including former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, physicist Stephen Hawking, Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai, and journalist Paul Hawken, the film documents the grave problems facing the planet’s life systems. 

Global warming, deforestation, mass species extinction, and depletion of the oceans’ habitats are all addressed. The film’s premise is that the future of humanity is in jeopardy. The film proposes potential solutions to these problems by calling for restorative action by the reshaping and rethinking of global human activity through technology, social responsibility and conservation. 

Free coffee, tea and popcorn will be served.  Optional donations will be accepted.  For additional information, call 708-481-5339 or visit www.uuccpf.org
