Tickets: Ticket Website Link

Join us for a film screening and discussion of Holy (un)Holy River. This film takes you on a dramatic adventure to Ma Ganga (“Mother Ganges”), a waterway that is divine and defiled, revered and reviled. Once celebrated for its purity, India’s Ganges River now carries contaminates from its glacial headwaters, where freshly fallen snow contains zinc from industrial emissions. Water is diverted from the river for agriculture and other uses, and the 500 million people in the Ganges basin further pollute the river. “Holy (un)Holy River” asks the essential question: Can the Ganges survive?

Teens and young adults encouraged to attend. Contains heavy themes, graphic images or language.
