Recent years have brought to the big screen an abundance of environmental documentaries — films dedicated to showing people just how wasteful they’ve been — many of which have racked up a collection of awards. Miami, a city that in some ways stands to lose more than landlocked locales due to its coastal location, often holds screenings of these films to promote awareness. So if you’re among those who enjoy pondering our watery demise, we’ve got good news: There’s another warning coming your way!
The Tropical Audubon Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting South Florida’s environment, will present a special free event this Friday. Weather permitting, there will be a screening of Plastic Paradise — a 57-minute film in which journalist Angela Sun documents how a remote island has become a massive garbage patch — under the stars on a 12-foot screen. If it rains, the film will show indoors at the Tropical Audubon Society (5530 Sunset Dr., Miami).
Agents of Aku Aku will perform surf music, and Jefe’s Original Fish Taco & Burgers food truck will peddle edibles to the hungry masses. And don’t forget the Bird Bar, where donations will be gladly accepted and are encouraged.
