THE PLANETFriday April 20, 4:00 PM Thursday April 26, 4:30 PM The Planet is a hot from the oven attempt to find answers about the truths and untruths of the alarming global changes that many claim are already in motion.
The visual style will unlock the alienated attitude many people have built up in relation to the subject: ”Please, not another bloody Climate Doomsday film!” The Planet is about much more than climate change - its about the Earth as a whole, it's about the overall global changes we are experiencing right now.Tickets: $10
