About This Event

A choice of movies. They both address environmental issues, but in wildly different ways. * *Digger* is the new film staring Tom Cruise, directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu. *"The most powerful man in the world embarks on a frantic mission to prove he is humanity’s saviour from a disaster he's caused."* — The critics are ... mixed. * *Derek vs Derek* is director James Dawson's new documentary *... telling the story of two neighbouring farmers who share the same name but take radically different approaches to land use."* — TBH, the critics have not paid much attention. We'll meet in the Watershed cafe/bar from 7:15 pm, to say hello and chat. Afterwards, we will stop for a few minutes to talk about the film.
