With the recent advent of passionate environmentalism, populations across the world have converted to 'eco-friendly.' Later this month, Rollins College will be co-hosting the 7th Annual Global Peace Film Festival. The festival is held in order to promote a wide variety of ideas, both new and old, each serving the purpose of promoting world peace.
One film of particular interest, is titled 'One Village Same Ocean.' Director's synopsis:
'As a cruise ship threatens to move into Mayport Village, residents and supporters band together to show that community, livelihood, environment and health cannot be bargained for. Journey the seas with shrimpers, and unveil the area's astounding lost history. This is the story of a small fishing village fighting the powerful cruise ship industry. Will these ships continue polluting the very places they promote visiting? Or will one camera and a wealth of knowledge unite supporters in protecting the ocean and the fishermen left along its’ shores.'
Josh Hansbrough 2009
You can see the screening of this film on Saturday, September 26th at 3:45 pm in the Winter Park Library, opposite Rollins College.
