The Winder Cultural Arts Center – a host site for the 2012 - 2013 Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers - presents “Bag It” with narrator and actor, Jeb Berrier, as part of the South Arts Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers in the Colleen O. Williams Theater at The Winder Cultural Arts Center, 105 East Athens Street, Winder, GA at 3:00 PM, September 11, 2012. At the completion of the film screening, there will be a moderated discussion with Mr. Berrier about the film and his work as a filmmaker. A light reception will follow.

This screening is free and open to be public. Sitting is limited to 225 persons.

Try going a day without plastic. Plastic is everywhere and infiltrates our lives in unimaginable and frightening ways. “Bag It,” a touching and often flat-out-funny film, follows everyman Jeb Berrier, who is not a tree-hugger, as he embarks on a global tour to unravel the complexities of our plastic world. What starts as a film about plastic bags evolves into a wholesale investigation into plastic, and its effect on our waterways, oceans, and our own bodies. Bag It shows how our crazy-for-plastic world has finally caught up with us, and what we can do about it.

The Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers is a program of South Arts. Southern Circuit screenings are funded in part by a grant from South Arts in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. South Arts, a nonprofit regional arts organization, was founded in 1975 to build on the South's unique heritage and enhance the public value of the arts. South Arts' work responds to the arts environment and cultural trends with a regional perspective. South Arts offers an annual portfolio of activities designed to address the role of the arts in impacting the issues important to our region, and to link the South with the nation and the world through the arts.
