SUMMARY:Free Screening: Free to Grow
DESCRIPTION:Emerald Curtain Collective is co-hosting a free screening of Free to Grow\, a new Pacific Northwest film about herbicide use in Oregon forests and three families fighting for health and justice. Join us on Sunday\, October 11\, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. in the Bromley Room at the Siuslaw Public Library in Florence. All ages are welcome. \n\n\n\nThis is a community event with partners\, not an ECC gathering. ECC founder Willow Kasner will host and serve as MC. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the film\n\n\n\nFree to Grow is a 30-minute documentary by Emmy-winning filmmaker Jesse Andrew Clark of Old Grove Films\, following three families fighting pesticide exposure from aerial herbicide spraying by the forestry industry. Rural Oregon families have fought aerial herbicide spraying by the forestry industry for more than 50 years\, and the film asks whether public safety around these substances has improved since. It weaves historic archival footage with modern-day stories of families dealing with herbicide exposure in their own backyards. The trailer above is a short look at it. The Forest Climate Alliance has more about the film from an earlier screening\, including how to track pesticide spraying near you. \n\n\n\nPanel discussion and Q&A\n\n\n\nAfter the film\, stay for a panel discussion and audience Q&A with people who have lived this. Members of Community Rights Lane County and Lincoln County Community Rights will be there\, along with people who have been directly affected by the sprays and people involved in initiatives to stop them. \n\n\n\nAdmission\n\n\n\nAdmission is free. There are no tickets and no RSVP\, so you can simply come. The Facebook event\, hosted by the Oregon Community Rights Network\, has more information. \n\n\n\nSponsored by Protect Lane County Watersheds\, with Lincoln County Community Rights\, Community Rights Lane County\, the Oregon Community Rights Network\, and Emerald Curtain Collective.
