Tuesday Video: “Sun Come Up” documentary, followed by “Climate Change and Religion” panel on Thursday at Gonzaga

I’m on the road until Thursday so posting might be a bit light between now and but here’s an event I hope to make it back in time to see: The Spokane Riverkeeper program is co-sponsoring a showing of the Academy Award nominated short film, “Sun Come Up” at the Gonzaga Law School courtroom on Thursday, October 4th at 7 p.m. A panel discussion, “Climate Change & Religion,” will follow featuring Spokane Riverkeeper Bart Mihailovich, Father Jack Bentz of the Gonzaga Campus Ministry and Rabbi Elizabeth Goldstein of the GU Religious Studies Department. Light refreshments will be served.

The documentary follows the relocation of the Carteret Islanders, a peaceful community living on a chain of tranquil islands in the South Pacific, and now, some of the world’s first environmental refugees from climate change. Trailer after the jump.
