Film Showing of “Death On The Chesapeake: A Hard Rain”

On Friday, November 7 at 7 PM the Mainstay is pleased to present a showing of “Death On the Chesapeake: A Hard Rain”, a new documentary film that explores the increasing number of threats the Chesapeake Bay now presents to its neighbors (flesh eating bacteria, drowning fish) and the straightforward explanation of its human cause. 

The Chesapeake bay is the largest estuary in the United States and it's not being monitored. The water quality of the bay is severely impaired and so many people are unaware of the enormous impact it's having on our population as a whole. Restoring the bay is no small feat, but when "everyone's downstream from somebody", it's important to start educating ourselves and care about the quality of water we are leaving behind for the next generations to come. Film Producer John Laskas will be on hand to introduce the film and lead a discussion after.
