DESCRIPTION:Pacifica’s Environmental Family to Host a Screening of Award Winning 
 Documentary, Chasing Ice on\n \nFriday, June 7th at Mildred Owen Concert 
 Hall\n \n\nIn the spring of 2005, acclaimed environmental photographer 
 James Balog headed to the Arctic on a tricky assignment for National 
 Geographic: to capture images to help tell the story of the Earth’s 
 changing climate. Even with a scientific upbringing, Balog had been a 
 skeptic about climate change. But that first trip north opened his eyes to 
 the biggest story in human history and sparked a challenge within him that 
 would put his career and his very well-being at risk.\n \nChasing Ice is 
 the story of one man’s mission to change the tide of history by gathering 
 undeniable evidence of our changing planet. Within months of that first 
 trip to Iceland, the photographer conceived the boldest expedition of his 
 life: The Extreme Ice Survey. With a band of young adventurers in tow, 
 Balog began deploying revolutionary time-lapse cameras across the brutal 
 Arctic to capture a multi-year record of the world’s changing glaciers.\n 
 \nAs the debate polarizes America and the intensity of natural disasters 
 ramps up globally, Balog finds himself at the end of his tether. Battling 
 untested technology in subzero conditions, he comes face to face with his 
 own mortality. It takes years for Balog to see the fruits of his labor. His 
 hauntingly beautiful videos compress years into seconds and capture ancient 
 mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate. 
 Chasing Ice depicts a photographer trying to deliver evidence and hope to 
 our carbon-powered planet.\n \nSome of you may remember hearing about 
 Chasing Ice when it appeared briefly in Bay Area theaters for a few weeks 
 last November, 2012.  As with most documentaries – even great ones like 
 this one – it didn’t stick around for too long, so many people missed 
 it.   Just about everyone who has seen it, though, can’t say enough good 
 things about the film.  It’s not uncommon to hear words like 
 “powerful”, “breath-taking”, “life-changing”, “beautiful” 
 and “awesome” to describe this movie, which has won over 30 awards over 
 the past year. \n \nIntrigued by this film’s buzz, Pacifica’s 
 Environmental Family contacted the filmmakers and received permission to 
 host the “Pacifica premiere” of Chasing Ice on Friday evening, June 7th 
 at 7:30pm in the Mildred Owen Concert Hall, 1220 Linda Mar Blvd. in 
 Pacifica for those of you that enjoy movies of this type but missed it when 
 it was in local theaters last Fall.   A sliding scale donation of $10 to 
 $20 will be requested at the door.  Come join us for this amazing film.  
 All net proceeds will support Pacifica’s Environmental Family, a 501 (c) 
 (3) non-profit that provides fiscal sponsorship services to the Pacifica 
 Beach Coalition, Pacifica Gardens, Vallemar Conservators and the Pacifica 
 Shorebird Alliance.  For more information about PEF, go to
