We are excited to be co-hosting a film screening of Earth’s Greatest Enemy with the Sound Defense Alliance at The Clyde Theatre in Langley!
Earth’s Greatest Enemy is a documentary exposé of the world’s biggest - and most unaccountable - polluter: the U.S. military. Combining investigative journalism, striking visuals, and stories from impacted communities, this film challenges audiences to rethink the hidden costs of a global military empire and its planetary consequences.
The film touches on various environmental topics, including impacts from the Navy Growler jets on Whidbey Island!
The event will include a special 45-minute Q&A with the director, Abby Martin, who will join virtually.
Tickets are $10/person - Proceeds support the work of Sound Defense Alliance to advocate against harmful Navy Growler jet training pollution in our region.
