Harold Washington Library Center

FILM DESCRIPTION: We are in the midst of the 6th mass extinction. In “Racing Extinction,” a team of artists and activists exposes the hidden world of extinction with never-before-seen images that will change the way we see the planet. Two worlds drive extinction across the globe, potentially resulting in the loss of half of all species. The international wildlife trade creates bogus markets at the expense of creatures that have survived on this planet for millions of years. And the other surrounds us, hiding in plain sight — a world that the oil and gas companies don’t want the rest of us to see.

Northeastern Illinois University, Chicago

CHICAGO-AREA PREMIERE. FILM DESCRIPTION: The Vale do Javari is the second largest Indigenous territory in Brazil and is home to 5,000 Indigenous peoples from 6 tribes as well as the largest population of people living without any contact with the outside world in the entire Amazon, and some say the world. Though the Javari has been designated for the tribes living there, there is looming pressure to increase harmful resource extraction which in other parts of the Amazon has led to environmental degradation. With Hepatitis rates as high as 50-80%, this preventable infectious disease brought in by outsiders is decimating the population and threatening their very survival.
