The National Film Board of Canada’s Mediatheque in downtown Toronto is going even greener this month, offering Torontonians a special expanded edition of its free monthly Green Screens environmental screening and discussion series. Green Screens brings together award-winning feature documentaries and environmental experts as well as the launch of the NFB Web site FOOTPRINTS: Environment and the Way We Live, offering an important venue for focusing on the state of our planet today.

Green Screens will feature the Toronto premiere of the documentary The World According to Monsanto, tracing the history of the U.S. multinational, a leader in the development of genetically modified foods and considered one of the worst polluters of the industrial age, plus the documentaries Up the Yangtze, Refugees of the Blue Planet, Weather Report and Toxic Trespass – along with discussions and workshops.
