Rio Grande Foundation Partners with CARE for Film Event Exposing Environmental Hypocrisy

Mark you calendars now! The Rio Grande Foundation and CARE (the Citizen’s Alliance for Responsible Energy) are partnering to bring a powerful film event to New Mexico!
On May 20-22 we will be showing the movie Mine Your Own Business in New Mexico.
Albuquerque–May 20: State Bar of New Mexico, 5121 Masthead NE, Albuquerque, NM 87109
Roswell–May 21: Roswell Museum and Art Center, 100 West 11th Street, Roswell, NM 88201
Farmington–May 22: Totah Theater, 315 W. Main Street, Farmington, NM 87401
Mine Your Own Business is a one-hour feature documentary that exposes the real agenda of many prominent environmental activists. It is an entertaining and informative exposé on how the environmental movement is ignoring the world’s poor and their dire need for economic development.
The film features interviews with some of the world’s poorest people and reflects on their individual goals for a better life. It is the first documentary to ask hard questions of the environmental movement and the right of all people to live prosperous and productive lives. Even if you think you understand the importance of economic development, this film will provide insight into the desperate state of the world’s poor – as no book or study can – and why we cannot deny them the dignity of development and economic achievement.
Read a review of the movie. Listen to an interview with the film’s producer. Watch the preview.
Each showing will be followed with a short presentation by Paul Driessen, author of the book Eco-Imperialism. Driessen will localize the movies message and answer questions from the audience.
Each event will be held in a “happy hour” type timeframe with refreshments (Beer and wine will be available at the Albuquerque and Roswell locations) from 5:00-5:30pm, showings at 5:30 and Paul Driessen’s presentations at 6:30. These events are open to the public free-of-charge and you are encouraged to bring everyone you know! (Event sponsorships are still available.)
