Internationally renowned river advocate\, Mark Angelo\, journeys through some of the world’s most pristine to some of the most polluted rivers\, in an unprecedented global adventure.  This quest set out originally to film rivers in an effort to protect them\, but in the process uncovered the dark underside of the global fashion industry.  Through harsh chemical manufacturing processes and the irresponsible disposal of toxic chemical waste\, our clothing\, including one of our iconic products\, blue jeans\, is destroying rivers globally.  Shot in 5k with images both stunning and shocking\, <em>RiverBlue</em> acts as a demand for significant change from the top fashion brand regarding how our clothes are manufactured.

The event will be followed by a Q&A with Roger Williams\, Director and Producer of RiverBlue.
