Followed by <strong>“Circle of Poison”</strong>, a 71 minute documentary about agro-pesticide pollution in international lands in India, Argentina and Mexico. Film is narrated by David Weir, RPCV [Returned Peace Corps Volunteer] from Afghanistan. This also effects US food consumption and First Nation lands.</p> <p><strong>PSR-AZ and IITC [International Indian Treaty Council]</strong> co-sponsor these films for a <strong>free screening, Sunday,</strong> <strong>January 5th, at 4pm at The LOFT</strong> in Tucson. The proximity of pesticide use in Yaqui communities in Sonora Mexico near to Tucson, as well as other international locales make this a poignant film for Tucson audiences.</p> <p>The films illustrate corporate malfeasance, circular lobbying rotations in DC, and health effects of unjust environmental practices. PSR-AZ links the environmental and nuclear industries as significant polluters.</p> <p> </p>America/Phoenix2020-01-05T16:00:00America/Phoenix2020-01-05T18:00:00en-USFeaturedKathy Altman; https://www.iitc.orgThe Loft Cinema @ 3233 E.
