DESCRIPTION:Artists for Social and Political Awareness (ASPA) invites you to join us 
 for a special screening of the new award winning film OIL ON ICE (57 min.) 
 that came out as part of a nationwide mobilization against the Bush 
 administration plan for oil extraction in the Arctic.  film screening will 
 be followed by suggested actions to take.  OIL ON ICE is a vivid, 
 compelling and comprehensive documentary connecting the fate of the Arctic 
 National Wildlife Refuge to decisions America makes about energy policy, 
 transportation choices, and other seemingly unrelated matters. Caught in 
 the balance are the culture and livelihood of the Gwich'in Athabascan 
 Indians and Inupiat Eskimos and the migratory wildlife in this fragile 
 ecosystem.  OIL ON ICE exposes the risks of oil extraction in this extreme 
 environment. What happens if another oil spill occurs on the coastal plain 
 or under an ice-covered Beaufort Sea? How can one rationalize development 
 of irreplaceable wilderness areas or ignore the cultural survival of 
 indigenous populations? Already, Eskimo residents and leaders of the North 
 Slope Borough are criticizing the impacts of oil development to their lands 
 and seas. Gwich'in Indian residents of Arctic Village, on the southern 
 boundary of the Arctic Wildlife Refuge, fear their community's caribou 
 hunting will be severely impacted by oil development in the Refuge.  OIL ON 
 ICE also examines the effects that improved fuel efficiency standards for 
 vehicles and development of alternative sources of energy will have on this 
 nation's oil consumption. The issue of oil extraction from the Arctic 
 National Wildlife Refuge brings into sharp focus the broader debate over 
 energy conservation vs. unbridled consumption. It also dramatizes the 
 choice between technologies based on fossil fuels and those that draw upon 
 renewable, efficient, and non-polluting energy resources.   \n
