Back to All Events

Film: The Human Element

  • Gettysburg College Joseph Theater in Breidenbaugh Hall Gettysburg PA 17325 (map)

The Human Element focuses on the work of Jame Balog, a longtime photographer for National Geographic who has documented the impact of climate change on Americans across the country: fisherman in the Chesapeake Bay whose island home is disappearing under rising water, firefighters in the west, coal miners in the east, and children in many places suffering from chronic asthma. More information on the film is available at https://thehumanelementmovie.com/

The showing of the film will also be the occasion of a reboot of Green Gettysburg, a local effort to support the work of existing environmental organizations in the community and to help them better connect with one another. Green Gettysburg will also focus on advocating for action on climate change and on practical problem solving on environmental issues.
