Alternatives presents: The Antarctica Challenge

Thanks to everyone who came out to this SOLD-OUT screening (and sorry to the number of people that we had to turn away). Watch for our interview with director Mark Terry on our website the week of Nov. 30. We wish him all the best in Copenhagen.

Alternatives is heading to Antarctica.

Well, not literally. But Alternatives is proud to present The Antarctica Challenge: A Global Warning on November 26, 2009 at the Princess Twin Theatre in Waterloo. This award-winning film has been invited by the United Nations to screen at the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference. This is the last screening in Canada before the UN delegates see it. Director Mark Terry will introduce the film and will be available afterwards for questions and comments.

This film is the only one to be screened to 190 world leaders and 11,000 delegates as they create the world’s first climate change policy. Why? Because this is the only film to report on the new discoveries made by the world’s scientific community stationed in Antarctica during International Polar Year.

Critics have called it “far superior to An Inconvenient Truth” (The Gate Magazine, August, 2009) and it has already won three major environmental flm awards at the International Film Festival Ireland and at the Yosemite International Film Festival.

Veteran documentary filmmaker and explorer Mark Terry has created an HD spectacle that is not only a feast for the eyes, but also a feast for our minds. The film reports on the latest news related to penguin suicide, melting ice and rising world sea levels, diminishing populations of land and marine life and a startling new revelation about the ozone hole.

Tickets are only $10 and are going fast. Pick them up at the Princess Twin box office. Visit the Facebook event page to let us know you're coming!
