UUF of Door County Screens “The Story of Stuff”

As a part of “Movies that Matter,” The Story of Stuff will be screened on Tuesday, Jan. 18 at 4:30 pm at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Door County in Ephraim.

Consumerism is the theme of The Story of Stuff, a documentary about the lifecycle of material goods, presenting a critical view of the consumerist American society and purporting to expose the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues. Filmmaker Annie Leonard uses stark and compelling statistics to drive home the dire nature of global consumption.

The film, viewed by over 12 million people in 228 countries, has been screened by elementary schools, arts programs, and economics classes as well as places of worship and corporate sustainability training sessions.

“Movies That Matter” is presented each month by the Social Responsibility Committee of the UU Fellowship. This series featuring thought-provoking films is free and open to the public with screenings on the third Tuesday each month at 4:30 pm throughout the winter months. A discussion and optional dinner will follow each screening.

The UU Fellowship is located at 10341 Highway 42 in Ephraim. For information call 920.854.7559 or visit http://www.uufdc.org.
