Living Downstream - This film is based on the acclaimed book by ecologist and cancer survivor Sandra Steingraber, Ph.D. This poetic film follows Sandra during one pivotal year as she travels across North America, working to break the silence about cancer and its environmental links. After a routine cancer screening, Sandra receives some worrying results and is thrust into a period of medical uncertainty. Thus, we begin two journeys with Sandra: her private struggles with cancer and her public quest to bring attention to the urgent human rights issue of cancer prevention.

All screenings will take place between 7:00 and 9:00 pm at the Centre for Social Innovation (4th floor at 215 Spadina Ave). Admission is pay-what-you-can, and the directors and/or producers will be present for discussion following each film presentation. Check out the WHEN website for more details.
