Free film screening highlights climate change

Residents in Canterbury-Bankstown are encouraged to attend a free screening of the Australian film ‘2040’, an uplifting documentary about creating a better future.The upcoming screening will take place on Sunday 29 March at Canterbury-Hurlstone Park RSL Club.It is part of the Wurridjal Festival, which is hosted by the Cooks River Alliance in March to celebrate the mullet migration north, which passes through the Cooks River.Executive Officer of the Cooks River Alliance Sue Burton said: “The best thing about the 2040 film is it offers a hopeful vision for the future.”“It’s very easy to feel helpless in the face of current environmental challenges and this film looks at the best solutions that already exist today to highlight how we can all make a difference now,” she said.“The Wurridjal Festival reminds us all that for tens of thousands of years the river was healthy and a source of food for Aboriginal people.”After the screening of 2040, a panel of sustainability experts will answer questions from the audience.
