Advanced Screening of The Island President in D.C.

U.S. Climate Action Network, 350.org, and ecoAmerica invite you and a guest to advance screenings of the The Island President on April 15th and 16th in Washington, DC. The documentary will premiere on PBS next season on Independent Lens.

These two advanced screenings of The Island President are part of the Washington, DC International Film Festival (FilmfestDC) lineup. While both screenings are open to climate community leaders and the rest of the public, the Monday evening screening will be immediately followed by a special Q&A discussion.

The screenings will take place on Sunday, April 15 at 2:00 pm and Monday, April 16 at 6:15 pm at the Landmark's E Street Cinema (555 11th St NW, Washington, DC). Tickets are free for both events, but please RSVP by April 5th in order to secure your spot. Tickets are also available at the film festival box office.
