I hope lots of people show up for the screening. It's a terrific film, and I admit by the time I'd watched to the end, I was just about shaking with rage at the companies and our own governments that have allowed this to happen. I HIGHLY recommend everybody take the hour and a bit required to watch the video, which is also available here:

Although it's a horrible story it tells, the photography is gorgeous -- and just reinforces how much we in British Columbia have to lose if we don't collectively wake up and do the right thing. I also encourage folks on this forum to send the video link to others they know. It deserves to go viral (an ironic expression, given that this is about fish farms and disease!).
