About the event
This Earth Day, please join us for a free film screening of the award-winning documentary How to Poison a Planet at the beautiful Pensacola Little Theatre in downtown Pensacola.
The groundbreaking film debuts previously unseen sworn testimony from 3M scientists and employees discussing what the company knew--for decades--about PFAS danger. Due to PFAS chemicals’ inability to break down naturally, these man-made ‘forever chemicals’ now contaminate the waterways, farmland, and communities around the world, including the drinking water of 200 million Americans.
Levin Papantonio environmental lawyer Ned McWilliams is heavily featured throughout the film as he deposes witnesses to reveal the chilling origins of what has become a global contamination.
WHEN: Earth Day, Tuesday, April 22. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. The movie will start promptly at 6 p.m.A live Q&A with Ned McWilliams will follow the film.
WHERE: Pensacola Little Theatre - 400 South Jefferson St., Pensacola, Florida
(Public parking is available throughout adjacent downtown lots.)
FREE POPCORN AND WATER OR SODA!
Seating is limited.
For more information, see the recent article that we published about this documentary and the history of PFAS.
A special thank you to our two co-sponsors: Pensacola Cinema Art and Earth Ethics.

About the film
With behind the scenes access to the largest litigation involving drinking water in American history, How to Poison A Planet investigates how the use of a product as seemingly harmless as firefighting foam, has resulted in the contamination of communities all over the world. Spanning from the heart of New York City to a small First Nations community in Australia the film exposes one of the most widespread environmental disasters in human history.
