Once again, the Dufferin Marsh Committee, Arts Society King, Cold Creek Forest and Wildlife Area and the King Township Public Library are working together and sponsoring a series of films and panel discussions related to the environment.

Last year's movies included:

  • An Inconvenient Truth
  • Who Killed the Electric Car?
  • The Corporation
  • Why We Fight
  • Darwin's Nightmare

This year we've seen "The End of Suburbia", and are looking forward to "Hurricane Hugo in the Virgin Islands" (see below).

But our next movie is Aftermath: The World After Humans.

Please join us on Thursday, June 19th, 7:00 pm at the King City Library for our screening of "Aftermath: The World After Humans". After thousands of years supporting humankind, what would happen to the world if we all suddenly disappeared? Not dead, just gone. Cars on the streets without drivers, no one to fix the bridges, no one to water the lawns...

Using animation and CGI, Aftermath shows us a world no human being will ever see. By exploring how the world would get along without us, we discover surprising insights into how the world works with us - and what keeps it from falling apart.

The Director, Christopher Rowley, will be on hand to introduce the movie, and answer questions afterwards.

There is no charge for any of the evenings.

Our third movie this year will be "Hurricane Hugo in the Virgin Islands".
In 1989 Hurricane Hugo, a Category 4 storm, crashed into the British Virgin Islands. Join filmmaker Jim Scott as he presents his documentary that shows first hand the destruction wrought on the local community by the storm, and shows how they responded by joining together to fight for the survival of all rather than self.
