Whole Foods sponsors the Do Something Reel Film Festival, and a screening of Bag It will take place at the Coolidge Corner Theatre, 290 Harvard Street in Brookline on Tuesday, April 26 at 7:30 pm. Ticket price is $9, and you may buy tickets on line at www.dosomethingreel.com, or at the theatre. This highly entertaining and eye-opening film follows everyman Jeb Berrier as he navigates our plastic-reliant world. Jeb is not a radical environmentalist, but an average American who decides to take a closer look at our cultural love affair with plastics. The filmmaker Suzan Beraza was born in Jamaica and raised in Puerto Rico and in the Dominican Republic. Her thought provoking films challenge viewers to examine their lives and consider the impact of their choices.
