    Delta Axis Presents:
    “Blue Vinyl”
    A Sierra Club film night
    Hosted by Indie Memphis
    Wednesday, April 16, 7:30 p.m.
    At the Power House,
    45 G.E. Patterson (between Main and Front)

    When filmmaker Judith Helfand’s parents decide to replace the rotting wood siding on their suburban home with cheaper, more durable blue vinyl, Helfand embarks on a quest to find out whether it's possible "to make products that never hurt anyone at any point in their life cycle." Toting a slab of siding, Helfand travels to Lake Charles, Louisiana, the vinyl capital of the United States. What she uncovers there, and in another manufacturing center, Venice, Italy, is enough to convince even her stubborn parents to take the vinyl down. Nominated for two Emmys, the film won the 2002 Messenger of the Year Award from the Environmental Grantmakers Association.
