Free Film: "Greedy Lying Bastards"
















Holliston Democrats to
Host Free Movie



 



Holliston Democratic Town Committee members are
hosting the second in a series of movies on climate change.

Find out what's happening in Holliston-Hopkintonwith free, real-time updates from Patch.



“Greedy Lying Bastards” will be shown Thursday, November
14 at 7pm at the Adams Middle School Auditorium. A brief discussion led by Lee
Kettelsen of Move-to-Amend will follow.



“Greedy Lying Bastards” looks at why tackling climate
change has been so difficult, despite consensus in the scientific community
that it is not only a reality, but a growing problem placing us on the brink of
disaster. The film points to the people and organizations casting doubt on
climate science and claiming that greenhouse gases are not affected by human
behavior, all while profiting from the fossil fuel industry.

Additionally, the film looks at the U.S. Supreme Court
decision Citizens United, a ruling that paved the way for unlimited corporate
contributions to political campaigns. It also highlights the relationship
between the Court and corporate interests.



Lee Kettelsen
of the grassroots, nonpartisan group Move-to-Amend will be on-hand following
the film to discuss the need for a pro-democracy amendment to the Constitution
to limit the influence of big money in our democracy.
