The Environment and Conservation Organisation has sent an E Mail to the Wellington Tramping and Mountaineering Club (The Club is a member of ECO) inviting anybody who wants to come along to a fund raising film evening at the Paramount, 25 Courtenay Place, Wellington at 5.30 pm on Sunday 28 March. Two films are to be shown:
1) McLibel This film that was released in August 1997 concerns individuals being sued for libel by McDonalds. This is a story about a long running court case in England. For six years a postman and gardner fought McDonalds.
2) Drowned Out was released in 2002. The villagers in the Narmada area of Gujarat in India objected to the options for relocation offered by the parties who planned to build a dam across their valley. They wanted to stay there and did so inspite of the rising water level.
To find out more information about the films visit the following web-site- http://www.spannerfilms.net ,or you can ring Wellington 476-9809, or 385-7545, or e mail
