“Bag It” follows everyman Jeb Berrier as he navigates our plastic world. Jeb is not a radical environmentalist, but an average American who takes a closer look at our cultural love affair with plastics. Are plastic bags really necessary? What are plastic bags made from? What happens to plastic bags after they are discarded? What he learns quickly grows far beyond plastic bags. 74 minutes. Members of Citizens Against Plastic Pollution will facilitate discussion after the film.
Adapted from the award-winning novel “Neither Wolf Nor Dog,” by Kent Nerburn. The film follows a white author who is summoned by a Lakota elder named Dan to help him write a book. The film takes readers to the heart of the Native American experience. As the story unfolds, Dan speaks eloquently on the difference between land and property, the power of silence, and the selling of sacred ceremonies. 150 minutes; directed by Steven Lewis Simpson
