CHICAGO AREA PREMIERE. FILM DESCRIPTION: A hopeful documentary about fighting with your whole heart, Unfractured follows introspective biologist and mother Sandra Steingraber as she reinvents herself as an outspoken activist and a leader in New York’s biggest grassroots movement in decades. Branded a “toxic avenger” by Rolling Stone Magazine, Sandra became determined to fight the oil and gas industry to win a statewide ban on fracking. This film hits at the intersection of energy justice and social justice. It’s also one of several One Earth Film Festival selections highlighting a strong female role model. Teens and young adults are encouraged to attend. May contain heavy themes or graphic images.

CHICAGO-AREA PREMIERE. FILM DESCRIPTION: If you know where to look, you’ll find the most surprising slices of nature thriving in America’s largest cities. We will screen several episodes of WTTW’s digital series Urban Nature, in which University of Chicago evolutionary biologist Marcus Kronforst leads audiences on tours of overlooked ecosystems in Chicago, New York and San Francisco. He’ll hop on a bike, grab a kayak, and even take the subway, to seek out unlikely habitats hidden among the skyscrapers. We’ll discover how these havens are essential to the health of our cities—and the future of our planet.
