VS. GOLIATH – “Appalachia” Film Screening with Guest Speakers
March 18 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Join us for a live-only screening of VS. GOLIATH: APPALACHIA with speakers Crystal Cavalier-Keck and Jason Campos Crazy Bear Keck, founders of 7 Directions of Service. Discussions to follow the showing of the film. Free and open to the public at Temple Emanuel Winston-Salem (201 Oakwood Dr).
About the film: Deep in the hollows of the Appalachian Mountains, the construction of a fracked gas pipeline rips through mountaintops, forests, and streams, bearing down on rural communities across Appalachia. Russell, an Army veteran who once swore an oath to protect and serve his country, now finds his home, waters, and forests under threat. He enlists in the battle to defend his community. Russell joins forces with people along the pipeline route, including Georgia, an apple farmer in Virginia; Maury, a retired schoolteacher in West Virginia; and Crystal and Jason, Indigenous community leaders in North Carolina. Together, they form a movement that faces numerous setbacks as they take on the multibillion-dollar corporations behind the pipeline. When one of the nation’s most powerful politicians intervenes, the stage is set for a high-stakes showdown.
Parkway United Church of Christ, Temple Emanuel Environmental Movement, Green Street Methodist Church and Unitarian Universalist Fellowship are collaborating for the 2026 monthly environmental film/speaker series in the hosting of these films.
