Loss of Biodiversity documenty being screened by me

[cmoon]

I've made clear elsewhere that I occasionally have the opportunity to screen films that are not available in the US at a local venue. Previously I've aired Phoenix 2772 and the short 'jumping'--not a lot of turn out, but it was still something.

I'm not doing Tezuka this time (nothing really in my collection to air), but am showing an important documentry from the BBC called 'State of the Planet' (another one of those Attenborough films) which essentially deals with the global loss of biodiversity and acknowledges that the current rate of species loss qualifies this as the sixth great extinction (no less significant than the loss of the dinosaurs). The documentry alone is around 3 hrs, and I'll probably play a few other programs of the same nature to make it an entire evening of depression.

So not Tezuka, but issues Tezuka dealt with and hugely important ones at that. These will probably never air in the US, so if by any chance you are around Providence on the 24th of January...yeah, right, no one is coming, but still, might as well make my little endeavours public:
