Bag It follows “everyman” Jeb Berrier as he tries to make sense of our dependence on plastic bags. His quest starts out small and he soon learns that the problem extends past landfills to oceans, rivers and, ultimately, human health.

Questions and answers, to follow, will include information on the proposal to ban plastic bags in Columbus. Come early for a demonstration of turning old T-shirts into reusable bags.

Encounter Point, directed and produced by Ronit Avni with co-director Julia Bacha, is an 85-minute feature-length documentary film that follows a former Israeli settler, a Palestinian ex-prisoner, a bereaved Israeli mother and a wounded Palestinian bereaved brother who risk their lives and public standing to promote a nonviolent end to the conflict. Their journeys lead them to the unlikeliest places to confront hatred within their communities.

Shot over a period of twenty-five years, Two Blue Lines examines the human and political situation of Palestinian people from the years prior to the creation of Israel to the present day. By primarily featuring the narratives of Israelis whose positions run counter to their country’s official policy, Ohio-based filmmaker Tom Hayes provides a portrait of the ongoing conflict not often depicted in our mainstream media. (98 minutes, video)

Scientists, farmers, and chefs tout medical and environmental benefits of a plant-based diet. Mouth-watering recipes make this film fun!

Racing To Zero (59 min) is a quick-moving, up-beat documentary that presents new solutions to the global problem of waste. Although waste may create garbage, garbage is in itself a resource, and that is the key. Our film follows the trail of trash and recycling with our guide, Robert Haley, Zero Waste Manger for the City of San Francisco as we travel the city from high to low and look behind-the-scenes at how zero waste can be achieved.
