EDA MOVIE SCREENINGS
We always look forward to screening documentary films – sometimes with guest speakers – it’s a good way to learn something new and get some important information about our environment.

For us to be able to share our EDA Movie Screenings with all our members, we have kept our November screening an online one with the continued protocols of social distancing still an important requirement to keep everyone safe and comfortable. We have also taken our EDA members living in other Emirates into consideration who are not able to make it to Dubai to watch the films via the big screen which includes our international members. Our online screenings will make them more accessible for all our members to take part and watch these important documentaries.

Our online screenings remain accessible only to current EDA members and their families which can be acquired or renewed here. Members must register via email in order to receive a special link to play the films via the online platform.

ABOUT THE FILM
From Executive Producer Martin Sheen, THE MAP TO PARADISE is an adventure-filled and spectacularly gorgeous tale about the birth of the global movement to protect the sea. From underwater worlds of ice to glistening coral sanctuaries, discover what it takes to build a movement and to create positive change.

Filmed across six continents, the filmmakers have set out to challenge the mainstream narrative of hard-hitting environmental documentaries with a “doom and gloom” message, and replace it with one of hope and courage. Along the way, we meet a prince, a president, a pirate, and also an island chief – among others – who are all playing a role in the quest to save the planet.

Mixing colourful character-driven stories and hand-rendered animations, THE MAP TO PARADISE is a rare urgent environmental wake-up call that retains a sense of awe and wonder for the kind of beauty that is still possible.

Featuring Prince Albert II of Monaco, President of Palau Tommy Remengesau, National Geographic Explorer Enric Sala, and Sea Shepherd’s Captain Paul Watson, with original music by Emmy award-winning composer Daniel Clive McCallum.
