Tensions with evangelical Christians over a sacred meadow erupt into a riot. In the Peruvian Andes\, the Qeros\, on a pilgrimage to a revered glacier\, are driven from their ritual site by intolerant Catholics. Qeros potato farmers face a more ominous foe: global warming is melting glaciers\, their water source. Andes farmers\, scientists and visiting Ethiopians struggle to adapt indigenous agriculture to the changing climate. \nUS 2014 56 mins.  Directed by Christopher McLeod \nSpecial Guests in Attendance: Sacred Ground director Christopher McLeod and Faith Against Fracking director David Braun. \nScreening with: Faith Against Fracking \nTickets are free but space is limited.  Please make a reservation to secure a seat. \nParking is located at the Free Valet in the lot on Helms Avenue and Venice Boulevard. \nThe Helms Bakery Festival events run Thursday\, December 3rd through Wednesday\, December 9th.  We hope you join us for a film screening or discussion\, enjoy an art installation or theatre performance\, or come to all of the events around our campus. The Festival umbrella brings together a collective of artists who have much to share about shaping a better future.

On the centenary of the opening of the Los Angeles Aqueduct\, Lauren Bon and the Metabolic Studio performed One Hundred Mules Walking the Los Angeles Aqueduct\, a commemorative artist action to connect Los Angeles to its water source. This performative parade of 100 mules traversed the 240 miles of pipelines and canals that bring water from the Eastern Sierras through a gravity-fed system to Los Angeles; passing through three counties and nearly 50 communities along the way took over a month to complete. \nMule power shaped the modern West and was a primary force in constructing the aqueduct\, an engineering feat that took only seven years to complete despite the rough terrain. One Hundred Mules Walking the Los Angeles Aqueduct documents this action with a resolution to move forward into the next hundred years with renewed appreciation for this vital resource. Let it be resolved that the citizens of Los Angeles will do better at utilizing this life-giving resource in the next one hundred years! \nUS 2014 60 min.
