Tuesday, May 21 at 6:30 p.m. the film “A Thirsty World” will be shown at Savory Maine Restaurant, 11 Water St., Damariscotta. Savory Maine and the Maine Chapter of the Sierra Club have been partnering to bring a series of free movies to the Midcoast area.
Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s documentary film “A Thirsty World,” directed by Thierry Piantanida and Baptiste Rouget-Luchaire, is a journey around the world. The famous photographer is looking at one of the major challenges to human survival: water.
Today, against a backdrop of sharply increasing demand, growth in the world population and the growing impact of an unsettled climate, water has become one of the most precious natural resources of our planet.
Faithful to Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s reputation, Filmed in some 20 countries, “A Thirsty World” reveals the mysterious and fascinating world of fresh water through spectacular aerial images shot in regions that are difficult to reach and rarely filmed, like Southern Sudan or Northern Congo.
Engaging personalities, internationally recognized or simple front-line players, illuminate the film with their energy, their imagination and their enthusiasm.
The Sierra Club was founded in 1892. The mission of the Maine Chapter is to explore, enjoy, and protect the wild places of the Earth; to practice and promote responsible ecosystems and resources; to educate and enlist humanity to protect and restore the quality of the natural and human environment; and to use all lawful means to carry out these objectives.
Savory Maine is closed on Tuesdays but soup, chowder, desserts and beverages will be available for purchase before the movie from 5:30-6:30. For more information call 563-2111, visit the Savory Maine Facebook page or www.savorymainedining.com
