DESCRIPTION: \nThe evening begins with an optional social hour and pot luck supper at 
 6:00 pm,\nfollowed by the film at 7:30 pm, followed by a discussion at the 
 end of the film.\n \nOut of Balance\n \nThis is the story of ExxonMobile's 
 impact on climate change.  Tom Jackson goes on a personal quest to find out 
 more about climate change and the huge forces that are blocking imperative 
 change.  The result is this well-researched, well-sourced piece of 
 investigative documentary filmmaking.  Tom exposes a story that will hardly 
 be mentioned in the mainstream media.  He exposes the most dangerous 
 practice of our time:  record profits at ANY cost.  He arms himself with a 
 number of climate change experts such as Michael Oppenheimer and Bill 
 McKibben.  Bill McKibben points out that though we are all responsible for 
 the unusual warming of our planet, every problem has a face and the image 
 of global warming includes ExxonMobil and its former CEO, Lee Raymond.  
 Exxon is the largest public company in the history of the world.  And its 
 enormous corporate weight was put behind a propaganda campaign to discredit 
 the wide-spread concern about, and the science of, climate change.  It went 
 beyond supporting pseudo-science and anti-climate change advocates and 
 effectively lobbied to influence government decisions.  Exxon spent 
 millions funding contrary viewpoints about climate change.  They forced the 
 public debate to include the idea that warming does not exist or that it's 
 similar to natural trends.  How much time will Exxon get their way over the 
 common good?\n \nWheelchair accessible around the corner at  411  28th  
 Street\n \n$5 donations are accepted \n\n
