First Friday Films will be showing a new episode
of the “One Ocean” series, entitled Birth
of an Ocean. The film will be shown for free on Friday, October 3rd
at 6:30pm in the American Memorial Park
theatre.
More
than four billion years ago, the most important event in Earth’s history took
place – the ocean was born. It completely trasnformed the planet, creating a
watery oasis that gave rise to the air we breathe, our climate, and a stunning
array of life, including the critical species that first crawled out of the sea
to inhabit land. The ocean is what transformed Earth into the liveable, blue
planet it is today. As Birth of an Ocean
reveals, we are just beginning to understand the complexity of the ocean and
the immense influence it has on the planet and our own survival.
First
Friday Films is a partnership between American Memorial Park, the Bureau of
Environmental and Coastal Quality and the Humanities Council with support from
other organizations and individuals. This particular film is sponsored by BECQ.
As always, our film events are free and
open to the public. This event will run approximately 90 minutes.
