In recognition of Earth Day, the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Monmouth County (UUCMC) in Lincroft is hosting a free screening of “Bidder 70” on Sunday, April 21 at 6 pm. The church is located at 1475 West Front Street, Lincroft, NJ 07738.

The film is being shown at locations nationwide this coming weekend. If you miss the screening at UUCMC, you can catch the film on Monday, April 22 at 7 pm at the ShowRoom Cinema in Asbury Park. Tickets are $5 and reservations are encouraged due to limited seating in the theater. To reserve seats, visit http://theshowroomap.com/events/bidder-70/

Bidder 70 centers on an extraordinary, ingenious and effective act of civil disobedience demanding government and industry accountability. In 2008, University of Utah economics student Tim DeChristopher committed an act which would redefine patriotism in our time, igniting a spirit of civil disobedience in the name of climate justice.
