MIDWAY : trailer : a film by Chris Jordan
The MIDWAY media project is a powerful visual journey into the heart of an astonishingly symbolic environmental tragedy. On one of the remotest islands on our planet, tens of thousands of baby albatrosses lie dead on the ground, their bodies filled with plastic from the Pacific Garbage Patch.
Returning to the island over several years, our team is witnessing the cycles of life and death of these birds as a multi-layered metaphor for our times. With photographer Chris Jordan as our guide, we walk through the fire of horror and grief, facing the immensity of this tragedy—and our own complicity—head on. And in this process, we find an unexpected route to a transformational experience of beauty, acceptance, and understanding.

Gee Miriam, are you some kind of environmentalist? Isn't that rather an odd position for a conservative to take. Actually having a concern for the environment?
ReplyDeleteYour comment offends my sensitivity as a person, a human being, a physician and a well known conservative. I cannot believe you would expect me or others like me, because we are conservatives, to approve of any destruction to defenseless living beings.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you have the wrong concept of what a conservative stands for? I don't know exactly what you call yourself, since you pose a catchy cinic question to me, but I would assume that perhaps you believe in killing babies in the womb. Isn't there a contradiction in this?
BUT JUST TO LET YOU AND OTHERS KNOW, NO ONE IS GOING TO DEFINE WHAT I AM, EXCEPT ME. I know what I stand for and will fight for my beliefs. I will not allow anyone to place a label on my forehead.
