Movie: Red Gold - 7:30 p.m.
McMillan Theater, Campus Life Building
Red Gold is a stunning mosaic of photography, land and seascapes, and real people’s stories. At the headwaters of the two largest remaining sockeye salmon runs on the planet, a proposed mine may require the largest dam ever constructed to contain the toxic runoff. Native, commercial, and sport fishermen oppose the proposed Pebble Mine, while mine officials argue the case for development of the mine, which has an estimated value of over $300 billion. . At stake is a unique way of life that would not exist if the salmon didn't return with Bristol Bay's tide. Red Gold is a different kind of environmental documentary—it gives all sides of an issue a chance to be seen and heard. Winner: Best Environmental Film, Taos Film Festival; People’s Choice, Banff Mountain Film Festival.

McMillan Theater, Campus Life Building
RENEWAL is the first feature-length documentary film to capture the vitality and diversity of today's religious-environmental activists. From within their Christian, Jewish, Buddhist and Muslim traditions, Americans are becoming caretakers of the Earth. With great courage, these women, men and children are re-examining what it means to be human and how we live on this planet. Their stories of combating global warming and the devastation of mountaintop removal, of promoting food security, environmental justice, recycling, land preservation, and of teaching love and respect for life on Earth are the heart of RENEWAL.

Movie: King Corn- 7:30 p.m.
McMillan Theater, Campus Life Building
King Corn is a feature documentary about two friends, one acre of corn, and the subsidized crop that drives our fast-food nation. In King Corn, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the east coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, and powerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America’s most-productive, most-subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they try to follow their pile of corn into the food system, what they find raises troubling questions about how we eat-and how we farm.
