The Last Mountain

For a seminar credit:

The sustainability film series continues with The Last Mountain. Join us in Greer Auditorium on Tuesday, Mar. 20 for a free showing of a film about the Unites States' struggle to balance its energy needs with environmental concerns.
View movie trailer here Excerpt from The Last Mountain web site:

In the valleys of Appalachia, a battle is being fought over a mountain. It is a battle with severe consequences that affect every American, regardless of their social status, economic background or where they live. It is a battle that has taken many lives and continues to do so the longer it is waged. It is a battle over protecting our health and environment from the destructive power of Big Coal.

Please encourage your students to attend the screening and the panel discussion. Slips can be signed if needed.
The film will be shown in Greer Auditorium beginning at 7PM. A panel discussion will follow. Admission is free. The film is sponsored by the Renewable Energy Initiative and the Belk Library & Information Commons.
We are pleased to announce the organizations present for the panel discussion:

• The JOBS Project
• Appalachian Voices
• University Documentary Film Services
• Renewable Energy Initiative
