A scene from the documentary "Chasing Ice."<\/p><\/div>\n

As part of the 2014 environmental film series at Ole Miss, the Department of Southern Studies and Environmental Studies Program will screen two documentaries: \u201cChasing Ice\u201d and \u201cLast Call at the Oasis.\u201d While one captures the swiftly changing environment, the other analyzes our nation\u2019s water supply.<\/p>\n

In the documentary \u201cChasing Ice,\u201d James Balog\u2019s multiyear visual record of melting glaciers illustrates our world\u2019s rapidly changing environment. Viewers have described it as one of the most visually stunning films to date. The documentary tracks Balog\u2019s efforts to capture breathtaking landscapes before they vanish.\u00a0 Photographers risk their lives in harsh weather conditions to capture the ever-changing environment.<\/em> \u201cChasing Ice\u201d will be screened on Feb. 19 at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast Call at the Oasis,\u201d the second film of the series, documents Jay Famiglietti, a scientist specializing in water studies. The viewer will go on a journey with Famiglietti to understand the rapid depletion of water supplies caused by agricultural overuse, widespread development and global climate change. Famiglietti presents his predictions at public meetings and particularly to the film\u2019s viewers, with a \u201cgood-natured patience.\u201d He concludes by saying that \u201cWe\u2019re screwed.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cLast Call at the Oasis\u201d <\/em>will be shown on March 19 at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n
