Film club: Soylent green

Event date: Wednesday 7 April 2010 - 06:00pm to 08:30pm
Location: The Science Exchange. Program: Film Club.

The RiAus Film Club is dedicated to screening films with science- and culture-based themes. From classic to modern works, docos, sci-fi and sci-fact, and utopian or dystopian futures — we’ll tackle all science screen genres.

Public health expert Professor John Coveney introduced the 1973 dystopian classic Soylent Green, a disturbing vision of a future plagued by overcrowding, food shortages and mass poverty, and the terrible extremes people will go to for survival.
