Water Film Series

Wednesday, July 14
7 - 9 p.m.
Water Film Series: Whose Water Is It and How Much Is There? The Social Justice Committee of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Fresno and the Valley Water Consortium are sponsoring a six-part film series to help us understand the global water crisis and how we can best respond to it. Screenings will take place in the sanctuary each Wednesday evening until August 11 at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 2672 E. Alluvial Avenue, Clovis, CA 93611 (between Willow and Chestnut.) The second film in the six-part series is Chinatown (the movie) and will be shown July 14, 7-9 p.m. This 1974 film is a fictionalized version based loosely on the land and water disputes that raged in southern California during the 1910s and 20s in which William Mulholland initially acted on behalf of Los Angeles interests to secure water rights in the Owens Valley. But this led inevitably to the subjugation of public good by private greed. Admission is FREE. Wheelchair accessible. For more information call 559-434-8046 or 559-313-7674.
