Come join Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper, Georgia River Network and Georgia ForestWatch for the Wild & Scenic Environmental Film Festival. Several inspirational and motivational films of varying lengths will be presented on March 7, 2010 from 2:00-6:00 PM at the Tara Theater in Atlanta.

The three hour program (with a 20 minute intermission) will highlight two longer films among several shorter works.

What's Organic About Organic? (60 minutes / http://whatsorganicmovie.org/) looks beyond the eco-label of the grocery store to see how organic farming benefits our land and communities; the film also exposes hidden costs of conventional agriculture.
Bag It (50 minutes) an average guy makes the resolution to stop using plastic bags at the grocery - but that's just the beginning

In addition to these and other films, the festival on tour in Atlanta welcomes photographer and writer Holt Webb and his eco-friendly motor home BABS, who will be on-site at the Tara Theater from noon until 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 7, to share his Vanishing America Project (www.vanishingamerica.net) promoting conservation and educating others about the wildlife and culture we are losing.
