AMERICAS MAESTRO: 100TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
SUNDAY MARCH 4
THE CABOT THEATER IN BEVERLY
3:00 PM
FAMILY SCREENING OF BAG IT
FEBRUARY 28 7:00 - 8:00 PM
MARCH 2 12:30 - 1:15 PM

Come one, come all to see this startling overview of the role of plastic in our lives! The film follows Jeb Berrier, who is admittedly  not  a tree hugger, as he embarks on a global tour to unravel the complexities of our plastic world. What starts as a film about plastic bags evolves into a wholesale investigation into plastic and its effect on our waterways, oceans, and even our own bodies. We see how our crazy-for-plastic world has finally caught up to us and what we can do about it. Today. Right now.
