DESCRIPTION:PACIFIC ENVIRONMENT TO HOST SPECIAL SCREENING OF OSCAR-NOMINATED “THE 
 WARRIORS OF QIUGANG”\n\n(San Francisco, CA - February, 2011) -- Pacific 
 Environment, a not-for-profit environmental organization, is proud to 
 announce the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences nomination of the 
 film, The Warriors of Qiugang, featuring one of Pacific Environment’s 
 partner organizations, Green Anhui , for Best Documentary Short. \n\nThe 
 stirring documentary chronicles the five-year battle by the residents of 
 the Chinese village of Qiugang to bring an end to the lethal pollution 
 caused by factories adjacent to their tiny hamlet. \n\nOscar-winning 
 documentarians Ruby Yang and Thomas Lennon follow a local farmer as he 
 takes the lead in navigating a tricky maze of state-mandated environmental 
 laws, local corruption, and evasive company representatives, guided by Ren 
 Jingwen of Green Anhui.  Come and be inspired by a grass-roots movement 
 sparked by a letter-writing campaign by the town’s 5th 
 graders.\n\nPacific Environment will hold a special screening of Warriors 
 at San Francisco’s 9th Street Film Center on Tuesday, February 22nd at 
 6:00pm.  Running time: 39 minutes. The event is open to the public. There 
 is a suggested donation at the door, and seating is limited. There will be 
 a reception with Pacific Environment after the film. For more information,
