This Land Is Your Land

Come to the Washington, DC, premiere of "This Land is Your Land," part of this year's Environmental Film Festival.

Filmmakers Lori Cheatle and Daisy Wright crisscrossed the nation, interviewing experts and individuals about corporate influence on American life and hearing how people across the country feel their own lives have been affected. The film looks at some of the brave, compelling and sometimes hilarious ways in which individuals and communities are reacting.

This funny and moving documentary shows that every person can make a difference, even when pitted against the enormous power of big business. It's showing on Thursday, March 17, at 5:30 p.m., at The American University (4400 Massachusetts Ave. NW, Mary Graydon Center, Room 300; 202/885-3107).
