“Unacceptable Levels” Screening in NYC and WDC
The makers of “Potomac: the River Runs through Us” know the importance of understanding what contaminants are in our environment. “Unacceptable Levels” continues to shed light on the 80,000 chemicals and growing on the market today.
“Unacceptable Levels” opens the door to conversations about the chemical burden our bodies are being exposed to, so we can make informed decisions as we move forward. This film poses particular challenges to our companies, our government, and our society to do something about a nearly unseen threat with the inspired knowledge that small changes can create a massive impact.
NYC Screenings are May 31 and June 4 Lincoln Center Green Screens: http://www.unacceptablelevels.com/screenings/

Potomac Documentary to Show at 2nd Annual Reel Water Film Festival – June 15, 2013
The Reel Water Film Festival will be on Saturday, June 15th at the Bethesda Blues and Jazz Supper Club. Potomac: The River Runs Through Us will be shown during the “Afternoon Splash,” which begins at 2:00pm.
What is Reel Water Film Festival ?
The Reel Water Film Festival is a non-profit event which takes a two-fold approach to combating water issues both at home and abroad. First, we host a film festival to showcase films submitted from all around the world, invite organizations to set up exhibits for the festival-goers to learn more about how they can get involved, and hear from film directors and experts about various issues surrounding water. Second, we donate at least 50% of our proceeds to water projects in developing countries and right here at home. The rest of the money stays within the festival to continue on for years to come.
All of the information about the day is on our website, including info about our feature film “Chasing Ice” and our “Dinner & A Movie” component. Please click here to check out the festival schedule. Click here for festival ticket information.
