Posted on behalf of Maryam Henein, maryamhen...@hotmail.com: After three hard-working years of production, Vanishing of the Bees, a documentary about the honey bees, Colony Collapse Disorder and our current agricultural landscape, is finally complete. The film, which features Michael Pollan and has been described by the press as "the most important film since An Inconvenient Truth," is narrated by Oscar nominated actress Ellen Page (Juno). You can access our trailer here: http://www.vanishingbees.com/B/Trailer.html.
On National Honey Bee Day (Aug 21) we kicked off the Bee the Change Campaign, a massive outreach movement holding community screenings around the world. We are looking for members to join our hive and host screenings and/or help us create a buzz. We have partnered with many other groups such as the NRDC, Slow Food and Beyond Pesticides and would like to know if you would find any benefits in using our film. Perhaps you could show it internally at an upcoming event, film series, conference or use the film as a tool to raise funds and/or awareness. Or purchase the educational version for your library. [Contact Maryam for more information.] We appreciate any help to spread the word so please let us know if you'd be willing to talk about the film on your website, newsletter, social networks (Twitter, Facebook) or perhaps review the film on a blog. Please join our hive and help us spread the buzz about this important message!
