POULSBO — The film “Scarred Lands & Wounded Lives” will be shown at 3 p.m. Dec. 10 at Ground Zero Center, 16159 Clear Creek Road NW, Poulsbo.

The film is being shown courtesy of West Sound for Social Justice, Free Range Films and The Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action.

This new documentary by filmmakers Alice and Lincoln Day examines the environmental footprint of war. From weapons production to combat, to cleanup and restoration, this film reveals how war is inextricably linked with the pollution of our land, air, and water and the destruction of biodiversity and entire ecosystems. However, war’s immense ecological ramifications are routinely underestimated, under-reported, and even ignored.

“If we cannot eliminate war, we can at least require a fuller accounting of war’s costs and consequences, and demand that destructive forces used in our name leave a lighter footprint on this highly vulnerable planet,” the filmmakers reflected in a written statement about the film.

“It is to this change in values and actions that this documentary film is directed.”
