- Environmentalist and Activist Movie Screening and Talk-back Session. 14 Pews, a non-profit art house cinema in the Heights, is screening an environmental movie on September 3rd at 7pm called, “If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front.” The movie is about a 2005 nationwide sweep of radical environmentalists. 14 Pews would like to have a panel of environmentalists and activists to speak and address when too much is too much. Also, there will be a screening of “King Corn” on October 14th in which the organization needs speakers to talk about genetically modified seeds and modern day farming.
