SUMMARY:SLUDGE: A PFAS UPRISING | Film Screening & Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The Shaw Institute is proud to be screening the award-winning documentary short film\, SLUDGE: A PFAS UPRISING (28 minutes)\, followed by a panel discussion featuring filmmakers\, PFAS experts and Maine family farmers that are featured in the film. The audience will also have the opportunity to ask questions. Our team served as advisors on the film and also created the official education guide for it. \nThis is a FREE screening due to the generous support of Amy and Terry Britton\, but donations to support the Shaw Institute’s nonprofit mission are greatly appreciated. Any donations from the screening will directly benefit our PFAS research and testing capabilities. \nPANELISTS\nMary Yurlina\, Agricultural PFAS Specialist\, Maine DACF-PFAS Response Program\nMike Pagano\, Editor & Producer on the film\, Maine resident\nDr. Charlie Rolsky\, Executive Director\, Shaw Institute\nSergio Cahueque\, Organizer\, Defend Our Health \nVENUE\nStonington Opera House\, Stonington\, Maine \nABOUT THE FILM\nSLUDGE explores the impact of PFAS contamination on Maine’s family farmers. The film focuses on the widespread contamination of farmland with PFAS\, also known as “forever chemicals\,” due to the use of municipal sludge as fertilizer. It highlights the stories of farmers like Fred Stone and Adam and Johanna Nordell\, who have been significantly affected by this contamination. The film aims to raise awareness about the issue and potentially inspire action to protect farmers and the food supply. \nThe film is from director Jeff Christian and one of the executive producers is well-known actor and environmentalist\, Matthew Modine (Full Metal Jacket\, Dark Knight Returns\, Stranger Things\, Oppenheimer and more).
