Do the Math Documentary Premieres on Earth Night, April 21

(Jamie Henn, 350.org)

In 2006, An Inconvenient Truth helped spark a new wave of concern about global warming. Now, our team here at 350.org is hoping to spark a new wave of not just concern, but action, with a new documentary called Do the Math about the growing movement to take on the fossil fuel industry.

The documentary won't be coming out in a movie theater near you (getting films into theaters can take years and boatloads of cash). Instead, we're taking a more grassroots approach. 350.org supporters and partners have organized over 700 screenings and house parties to watch the film this coming Sunday, April 21 as part of a nationwide event we're calling #EarthNight. In the United States, the events range from a screening at the Larkspur Cafe in Sitka, Alaska, to an event at the Walker County Democrat Headquarters in Huntsville, Texas, to a student-run showing at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez. Two panel discussions featuring Bill McKibben, Dr. James Hansen, and movement allies and leaders will be live-streamed at 8 p.m. ET and then at 8 p.m. PT.
