Environmental filmmaker Judith Helfand at UWM

UWM Union Theater
7pm *FREE* - A Healthy Baby Girl
8h30pm *FREE* - Blue Vinyl



Helfand is a Peabody award winning filmmaker, activist and educator whose films inspire unlikely community and institutional partnerships. She is best known for taking the dark, cynical world of chemical exposure and heedless corporate behavior and making it personal, resonant and entertaining.

Helfand will be on hand for three film screenings, including the Milwaukee premiere of Everything’s Cool, a film on global warming that picks up where An Inconvenient Truth left off. She will also facilitate a workshop on using the media for community action.
