THE HUMAN ELEMENT

Renowned photographer James Balog (“Chasing Ice”) uses his camera to reveal how environmental change is affecting the lives of everyday Americans. Following the four classical elements—air, earth, fire and water—to frame his journey, Balog explores wildfires, hurricanes, sea level rise, coal mining, and the changes in the air we breathe. He takes it further by examining the effects of the fifth element—the human element—to tell an urgent story while giving inspiration for a more balanced relationship between humanity and nature.

This is the Chicago Area premier of “The Human Element”, and the film screening will be followed by a live video Q and A with Producer Olivia Ahnemann.

Teens and young adults encouraged to attend. “PG-13” May contain heavy themes, graphic images or language.
