Be prepared to be provoked. Be prepared to be inspired. Join us on May 26th for Start With 1 Thing. -- it may well change the way you see the world around us and will certainly move you to action.To celebrate Canada signing the Paris Climate Treaty, Reel Causes is hosting a special presentation of Racing Extinction in support of the Canadian Parks & Wilderness Society. And when we Start With 1 Thing, we can indeed change the world for the better.
Racing Extinction brings a voice to the thousands of species teetering on the very edge of life -- and challenges and inspires us all to take action. Created by Oscar®-winner Louie Psihoyos (The Cove) along with a team of artists, scientists and activists, this jaw-dropping and beautifully stunning film shows the world never-before-seen images that expose issues of endangered species and mass extinction. Whether infiltrating notorious black markets with guerrilla-style tactics or exploring the scientific causes affecting changes to the environment, Racing Extinction will change the way we see the world and our role within it. Encouraging us all to "Start with 1 thing", the film brilliantly reminds us how our human ingenuity is the key to changing the course we're presently taking. This film is about hope - and positive change. "If there's one film you should see before the year is out, it's Racing Extinction." - Stephanie Spear, Ecowatch Critics' Pick - New York Times
