‘DEATH BY DESIGN’ Film Screening – an Ethical Investment Week 2016 Event

Posted on:  10 Oct 2016    Posted in:  Ethical/ RI, Events, News

DEATH BY DESIGN Screening: Monday, 24 October 2016 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM (AWST)

A film which explores the unintended environmental, health and social consequences of our addiction to our digital devices: a free event for Ethical Investment Week 2016.

Currently screening at film festivals around the world (including Environmental Film Festival Australia)….

Consumers love – and live on – their smartphones, tablets and laptops. A cascade of new devices pours endlessly into the market, promising even better communication, non-stop entertainment and instant information.

The numbers are staggering. By 2020, four billion people will have a personal computer. Five billion will own a mobile phone. But this revolution has a dark side, hidden from most consumers. In an investigation that spans the globe, filmmaker Sue Williams investigates the underbelly of the electronics industry and reveals how even the smallest devices have deadly environmental and health costs.
———
From the intensely secretive factories in China, to a ravaged New York community and the high tech corridors of Silicon Valley, the film tells a story of environmental degradation, of health tragedies, and the fast approaching tipping point between consumerism and sustainability.
______
This is our fourth annual screening of a sustainablility themed movie for Ethical Investment Week. More details about Ethical Investment Week
