Dear friends, colleagues and students:
The National Network on Environments and Women's Health would like to invite you to a public screening of the film, "Living Downstream", taking place on the campus of York University on:
Wednesday, November 10 at 4:15 pm
Location: Rm T1009, TEL Building, main floor
The film, by Chanda Chevannes, is a production of Toronto-based People's Picture Company Inc. and is based on the acclaimed book of the same name by ecologist and cancer survivor Sandra Steingraber. The documentary follows Sandra during one pivotal year as she travels across North America, working to break the silence about cancer and its environmental links. You can watch a trailer for the film at: http://www.livingdownstream.com/trailer.php
Following the film we will have a panel discussion touching on some of the issues raised in the film and inviting audience feedback.
Moderator:
Prof. Sonia Lawrence, Director, Institute for Feminist Legal Studies/Osgoode Hall Law School, York University
Panelists:
Ellen Sweeney, Doctoral Candidate, Faculty of Environmental Studies, York University

A downloadable version of a publicity poster for the event (by York Design student, Sally Fung) is attached in pdf format. Please feel free to circulate this information to appropriate listservs and other interested individuals.
We hope you will join us on the 10th.
