In California’s Central Valley, there is a crisis. Not only are communities running out of water, but over the last few years, they’ve seen an increase in dangerous forms of drilling for oil and gas. To make matters worse, the historic drought fueled by climate change is exacerbating existing health issues, water scarcity, and poor air and water quality.

“Growing Resistance” is a documentary that shares the stories of communities on the frontlines who are rising up against both the immediate health impacts of the oil and gas industry and against the growing climate impacts that are disproportionately impacting some of the most vulnerable in the state.

This film will inspire those who are concerned about the environment and communities facing climate change to get involved in building a grassroots movement for climate justice. A number of climate justice groups will be present at the screening and will offer opportunities to reach out directly to the communities in the film.

This important film will be screened at Sterling College on Saturday, April 30th, at 7 p.m. in Simpson Hall, Classroom 3. This screening is free and open to the public.
