The Dust Bowl - Courtesy PBS
Washington, D.C. Premiere The Arctic plains are an eminent example of nature’s untouched beauty: an endless nothing in which only a few know how to survive. But a silent assassin is destroying the Inuit community in Greenland. Chemical residues from all over the world accumulate here invisibly, poisoning both humans and animals. By ocean currents and attached to snow, pesticides are carried northbound into Inuit land, causing illness and premature death. Silent Snow follows a young Greenlandic woman on her journey all around the world to find the causes of the contamination that is quietly poisoning her people. Directed by Jan van den Berg and Pipaluk Knudsen-Ostermann.
Introduced by Her Excellency Renée Jones-Bos, Ambassador of the Royal Netherlands and Janneke de Vries, Counselor for the Environment and Spatial Planning, Embassy of the Royal Netherlands. Discussion with filmmaker Jan van den Berg follows the screening.
