Hurricane Helene’s Deadly Warning – Film Screening & Discussion

Westford Climate Action and Westford’s Clean Energy and Sustainability Committee are sponsoring a special free screening of PBS’s Frontline documentary, “Hurricane Helene’s Dangerous Warning.” It will be shown on Wednesday, April 22, Earth Day, at 7: 30 p.m. at the First Parish Church United, Main Street, Westford.

After the film, Mike Berlinski, Chair of Westford’s Clean Energy and Sustainability Committee, will lead a discussion of what Westford is doing to address global warming and what we can do to help. Hurricane Helene was a wake-up call. It ripped across six states in September 2024 with 250 fatalities, the highest total in North Carolina. Join us this Earth Day for a compelling look at why the U.S. is increasingly vulnerable to climate-related storms.

Drawing on a decade of reporting from PBS Frontline and NPR, this film explores the challenges we face in an era of intensifying weather issues. Donations will be gratefully accepted. Refreshments will be served.
