Muskegon Save Our Shoreline

Dear Clean Water Action Member,

We invite you to join us for the first showing in Grand Rapids of the
award-winning documentary:


REQUIEM FOR A STREAM

Tuesday, March 21 at 7:00 pm
Wealthy Theatre, 1130 Wealthy SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49506
Cost: $7 for general public

The Federal Environmental Protection Agency drops the ball. The
Michigan Department of Environmental Quality is running out of money and manpower.
Corporations with deep pockets use financial strength to speed
deregulation and weaken laws that protect human health and the
environment. Despite these odds, citizens are fighting to save what is
sacred.

On the grassroots level, people and organizations are fighting to
protect our Great Lakes and other precious water resources. They
continue to win and evoke positive change.

Filmmaker David J. Ruck explores the challenges faced by these
ordinary individuals who work to accomplish extraordinary things in a
society that nurtures the concepts of disposability and instant gratification.

Local groups highlighted include:
* Clean Water Action
* Muskegon Save Our Shoreline
* The Grand Valley Annis Institute's past and current work
measuring the levels of life in the highly contaminated White Lake,
providing evidence that grassroots efforts can make a difference.
White Lake is coming back.!
Discussion with David Ruck follows the film. 2006, 54 minutes
