Celebrate Release of Jailed Climate Activist & Peaceful Uprising Founder Tim DeChristopher
April 18 at 4PM Stark 103 and April 22 at 7:30PM Somsen Auditorium

On April 22, the official Earth Day screening will be followed by live streaming video of Tim DeChristopher’s first public address since his release from federal prison after a 21 month sentence. Movie-lovers and climate activists around the country have arranged local screenings and can participate live via Skype and Twitter in a Q&A with DeChristopher and filmmakers Beth and George Gage during the Salt Lake City premiere.

BIDDER 70 is a compelling feature-length documentary that chronicles how one young man’s act of civil disobedience blazed a new trail in the climate justice movement. At a time when the debate over climate change is finally gaining post-election “steam,” when hot-button topics such as fracking and the Keystone XL Pipeline have captured the country’s attention, BIDDER 70 is poised to showcase the face and voice of a movement that has been steadily gathering force, comprised of people who have grave concerns over our future as well as our present.
