Join PWC and Sustainable Sandhills on Saturday, April 20, for the screening of Chasing Ice, a documentary by acclaimed environmental photographer James Balog. While on assignment for National Geographic to capture images to tell the story of the Earth’s changing climate, Balog’s mission became to change the tide of history by gathering undeniable evidence of our changing planet. His videos compress years into seconds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate. Chasing Ice depicts a photographer trying to deliver evidence and hope to our carbon-powered planet. Chasing Ice has won over 43 awards at film festivals around the world including Best Documentary Award at the Sundance Film Festival. |
