BRUNSWICK
“Thirty Seconds to Midnight — The Final Wake Up Call” will be screened Friday, March 10 at 7 p.m. in the Morrell Community Room at Curtis Library in Brunswick. The showing is free and open to the public, though contributions in support of the filmmaker will be appreciated.
The documentary, by local filmmaker Regis Tremblay, traces the origins of U.S. genocides, military interventions and wars — from the 15th century when white colonial explorers first came to the Americas to the present.
American Exceptionalism, Manifest Destiny, and the right to claim the earth and its resources as their own are the beliefs that are the foundation of American foreign policy in the 21st Century that has humanity on the brink of extinction, the film posits.
Dr. Helen Caldicot, Ray McGovern, Chris Hedges, Ann Wright, Peter Kuznick, Bill McKibben, David Vine, Bruce Gagnon, and other activists, scholars, and authors explain and clarify the crisis and threats to life on the planet in the film.
