Award-winning environmental documentary to have its Canadian premiere
in Montreal

Why are albatross chicks starving even though they have full
stomachs? How are fertilizers and striped bass diseases connected?
How is tourism putting the Yucatan Peninsula's main tourist
attraction at risk? The documentary series "Strange Days on Planet
Earth", narrated by actor and environmentalist Edward Norton and
produced by Sea Studios Foundation in collaboration with National
Geographic Television, seeks to answer these questions.

"Our goal with 'Strange Days' is to help people understand that no
environmental issue stands on its own," said Mark Shelley, executive
director of the Sea Studios Foundation. On Wednesday March 18th, the
McGill Biology Graduate Students Association (BGSA), in collaboration
with the McGill Green Party and the McGill Post Graduate Student
Society (PGSS), will screen the episode "Dirty Secrets" in the
auditorium of the Redpath Museum. Mark Shelley from Monterey,
California will be visiting Montreal to introduce the documentary and
discuss it with the audience afterwards. This is the first screening
of "Dirty Secrets" in Canada, and signals the launch of a major
campaign promoting alternatives to plastic bags.
