To The Tar Sands is a documentary about the stories of 19 young environmentalists who travelled to Alberta by bike to understand how the tar sands have impacted communities in both positive and negative ways. The Toronto screening is part of a nation-wide tour with the goal of sharing the stories of the cyclists and, more importantly, the stories of those they met along the way. The Toronto screening will also feature the launch of the book Journey To The Tar Sands by cyclist Tim Murphy. An interactive discussion will be had after the documentary with some of the trip cyclists.
