The Antarctica Challenge: A Global Warning - National Tour 2010
Mark Terry's new climate change documentary The Antarctica Challenge: A Global Warning underlines these realities with some of the latest and increasingly sobering scientific findings.
The documentary focuses on new discoveries made related to the ozone hole, the diminishing populations of penguins and other marine life, the greening of the world's largest desert, warming temperatures, glacial melting and increased world sea level.
"We were all stunned at the findings being made there this past year," said writer/director Mark Terry. "From penguin suicide to grass growing in the world's largest desert, the environmental face of Antarctica is changing faster than anyone had previously thought - and the impact on us is imminent."
The Antarctica Challenge: A Global Warning is a one-hour documentary that goes to the source of the climate change crisis: Antarctica. Here we explore first-hand the environmental challenges facing that frozen continent and, by extension, the world.
Filmmaker MARK TERRY will present the film and answer questions
TICKETS: $12 at the door or $10 in advance (at Stride & Glide and Books & Co.)
