Just in time for the holiday shopping season, Movies That Matter presents a film designed to make you think before you buy. The documentary Trashed will be viewed and discussed on Tuesday, November 18 at 4:30 pm.

In this groundbreaking environmental documentary, Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons explores the world’s most environmentally polluted places to reveal the extent our rubbish is affecting us and our planet. In this visually and emotional film which manages to be both horrific and beautiful, Jeremy takes us on a journey to explore the risks to the food chain and the environment through the pollution of our air, land and sea by household trash. This is a wakeup call but a positive one. It ends on a message of hope – we can all do something and stop the problem.
