Arts & Entertainment

Screening of: Bidder 70

BIDDER 70 centers on an extraordinary, ingenious and
effective act of civil disobedience demanding government and industry
accountability. In 2008, University
of Utah economics student
Tim DeChristopher committed an act which would redefine patriotism in our time,
igniting a spirit of civil disobedience in the name of climate justice. He  derailed a widely protested Bush Administration
federal oil and gas land sale, bidding millions to save thousands of pristine
acres surrounding U.S.
national parks—with no intention of paying or drilling. Now he’s paying for it in
federal prison.


The filmmakers will be present to do Q&A afterwards.
