"Water is Life" in the Little Fort Environmental Film Festival

Our 16 minute short film Water is Life is part of the Little Fort Environmental Festival on Saturday June 20th in Waukegan, Illinois. If you are in the Chicago area come on my and watch the film, along with many others. John and I will be part of a Q&A after the showing of our film.

It is a 16-minute synopsis of the longer documentary still in production. It covers each issue in brief yet explains how people around the Great Lakes are doing something when it comes to the challenges they face. "Water Is Life" calls viewers to follow their lead and become involved, and it ends with his faith that the youth of today are willing and able to work tirelessly for the health and sustainability of our environment.
