Please join us for the next film in The Elements: An Annual Environmental Film Series, Xmas Without China. The film will be shown on Monday, November 14 at 7:00PM at Chapman Hall on the campus of Middlesex Community College, 100 Training Hill Road, Middletown, CT (directions and parking information).
In the film, a Chinese immigrant challenges a US family to reject materialism and live without Chinese products during Christmas, touching on themes of globalization, product safety standards, the intersection of cultures, and shifts in our views of the 'American Dream'. The film provides an intimate portrait of families wrestling with their drive to consume cheap products, as well as their desire for human connection and a sense of who we are in a fast-changing world.
