Exposing the Unspoken: Film Screening & Conversation on Energy and Environmental Justice
Join Elders Climate Action for a screening of “Exposing the Unspoken,” a powerful documentary produced by Arm and Arm and the People’s Justice Council. This eye-opening film sheds light on corporate greed, environmental injustice, and the real cost of Southern Company’s continued reliance on dirty energy sources.
Through compelling storytelling and firsthand accounts, the documentary reveals how frontline communities are bearing the brunt of pollution, economic exploitation, and political obstruction from powerful fossil fuel interests.
Following the screening, we will engage in a community discussion, featuring the filmmakers, about the film’s themes, the role of grassroots activism, and ways we can take action to demand accountability from major polluters like Southern Company.
Date: April 10, 7 PM EST
Suggested donation $10.00
