Docs & Discussion

Join us to watch a documentary, and then participate in a thoughtful group discussion after the film. Beverages and popcorn provided. January's film will be Clearing the Air: The War on Smog. In 1943, dark, smoky clouds enveloped Los Angeles, causing residents to complain of burning eyes, nausea and difficulty breathing. The source of the smog was a mystery. CLEARING THE AIR: THE WAR ON SMOG is the story of the epic struggle for clean air, involving years of scientific study and civic pressure that would lead to the creation of the EPA and the Clean Air Act.
