Your Environmental Road Trip is coming to Springfield as an official selection of the Route 66 Film Festival. Since YERT is meant to inspire discussion, it's being shown in advance of the festival as a free Liberty Brew & View screening. Co-Director/Producer Ben Evans will be here for a Q&A session!
It rolls into Springfield Tuesday, August 9, 7:00pm at Capital City Bar & Grill, 3149 S. Dirksen Pkwy.
50 States. 1 Year. Zero Garbage? Called to action by a planet in peril, three friends hit the road - traveling with hope, humor, and all of their garbage - to explore every state in America (the good, the bad...and the weird) in search of the extraordinary innovators and citizens who are tackling humanity's greatest environmental crises. As the YERT team layers outlandish eco-challenges onto their year-long quest, an unexpected turn of events pushes them to the brink in this award-winning docu-comedy. Featuring Bill McKibben, Wes Jackson, Will Allen, Janine Benyus, Joel Salatin, David Orr, and others.
