Firstly, If you haven't seen this documentary yet, here's your chance - King Corn airs on PBS on April 15! So mark it down in your calender.
And there's also a new film from the creators of King Corn - The Greening of Southie. The film will have its world premiere on the Sundance Channel on Earth Day, April 22 at 9:40PM. What is it about? this time these guys are into green building and they're focusing on the first green residential project in one of the favorite neighborhoods - South Boston, or Southie as everyone calls it. Here's a little bit more about it:
The Greening of Southie goes behind the scenes and onto the scaffolds to follow the construction of Boston’s first green residential structure, a luxury condominium complex called the Macallan Building. Located in the city’s storied working-class neighborhood, South Boston, Macallan was conceived with the ambitious goal of securing a LEED Gold rating from the U.S. Green Building Council. Moving between the idealistic young development team, distant suppliers, and the salty union construction crew, The Greening of Southie maps each step––and misstep––on the road to move-in day.
Enjoy both films!
