“Sarnia, a petrochemical town in Southern Ontario known for its factories and hardworking people, is on the brink of de-industrialization and a high rate of unemployment. To make matters worse, there is ever-growing evidence of cancer and other health issues caused by environmental contamination. The working people of this Southern Ontario town know what’s going on in their own backyards. Each person we encounter tells their side of the story, meeting their challenges head-on and with an ironic sense of humour. Land of Destiny is a beautifully filmed and compelling story about work, community, class and the dirty secrets that are finally coming to light.” - Kathleen Mullen Co-sponsored with the Department of Geography. Friday, February 11 from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. in University College, Room 179. Light refreshments will be provided. |
