Climate change "brings" Harrison Ford to Shepparton


Harrison Ford will be at Shepparton’s Terminus Hotel on Saturday, May 10, from 3:00pm to give us a better understanding of present dilemmas unfolding around the world.

Not in person, sadly, but he will certainly be there on the screen talking about the difficulties and complexities arising from climate change.

Ford, along with several other U.S. personalities, including fellow movie stars, Don Cheadle, Matt Damon, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is also the former governor of California, and New York Times reporter, Thomas Friedman, will be the correspondents for this first part in a  10-part series about to be released in America.

Saturday’s premiere screening comes to Shepparton courtesy of 350.org and the Australian Youth Climate Coalition and has been organized locally by Beneath the Wisteria convenor, Robert McLean.

The event itself will be free, but people who choose to have coffee, or something else to drink, or stay for a meal in the evening will be responsible for those costs.

Mr Ford and the executive producer of the 10-part series, Mr James Cameron, are both concerned that most people don’t understand or appreciate the dire consequences of climate change.

The series, entitled “Years of Living Dangerously”, is an attempt to further expand the conversation about climate change and though a movie-like experience help people understand, the urgency of an immediate response.

Those with any questions about Saturday’s premiere screening of “Years of Living Dangerously” can contact Mr McLean on 0400 502 199.
