Join Illinois Stewardship Alliance, Sustainable Springfield, Inc., the Sierra Club Sangamon Valley Group and the Pesticide Action Network of North America in welcoming Dr. Sandra Steingraber and film-maker Chanda Chevannes to Springfield for a screening of the new documentary, Living Downstream, that explores the connections between chemicals in our environment (including agricultural chemicals) and cancer.
Based on the acclaimed book by Illinois native, ecologist, and cancer survivor Sandra Steingraber, Ph.D., Living Downstream is a visceral and cinematic documentary. This film follows Sandra around North America—and back to central Illinois—as she works to break the silence about cancer and its environmental links.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A session and book signing with Dr. Sandra Steingraber and filmmaker Chanda Chevannes. Signed copies of the new and updated 2nd edition of Living Downstream will be available for purchase before and after the film.
