Northwest Suburbs Organizing For Action (NWSOFA) Climate Change & Sierra Club Present the Screening of YEARS of Living Dangerously 

Arlington Heights, IL – On Monday, May 5th at 6:30 p.m., Northwest Suburbs Organizing for Action (NWSOFA) will host a Climate Change event with Sierra Club, presenting the screening of “YEARS of Living Dangerously.” Hollywood's brightest stars, including Harrison Ford, and today's most respected journalists explore the issues of climate change and bring you intimate accounts of triumph and tragedy. 

YEARS OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY takes you directly to the heart of the matter in this awe-inspiring and cinematic documentary series event from Executive Producers James Cameron, Jerry Weintraub and Arnold Schwarzenegger. The first episode, which is to be shown, focuses on the drought in Plainview, Texas, a conservative and religious town, the civil war in Syria, and the deforestation of government lands in Indonesia for palm oil plantations.
