Noblesville First United Methodist to screen “Just Films”

Noblesville First United Methodist Church’s Social Justice and Advocacy Team will continue its “Just Films” series at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 16 in The Vine (Door No. 4/5). The evening will feature The Mystery of the Disappearing Bees.

The future of food resources depends on one small insect – the western honey bee, or Apis mellifera. Indeed, it is the most important agricultural pollinator on our planet, given that one third of our food supply depends directly on pollination from bees. This documentary tells the story of a worldwide ecological disaster that has been waiting to happen for several generations.

The film will be followed by Q&A with guest speaker Elizabeth Boase from the Hamilton County Master Gardeners.

The goal of these monthly film screenings is to showcase a film that provides new perspective, encourages conversation, and educates us on current environmental or social issues. Each screening will begin with an introduction, then we’ll dive into the film, and finish with 30 minutes of talk and discussion. Coffee, water and popcorn will be provided.
