The Union of Concerned Scientists invites you to the final installment in a free, monthly virtual screening series of Vs. Goliath—a powerful, award-winning new documentary series following everyday people across the United States as they stand up to the fossil fuel industry and fight for the future of their communities.

This episode focuses on Port Arthur, Texas, a major oil and petrochemical hub. John Beard Jr. worked in an oil refinery there for decades, as did his father before him. After retiring, John watches Port Arthur get hollowed out economically, while his neighbors die from pollution-related illness, as more dirty plants appear and expand. Experiencing the devastation wrought by Hurricane Harvey, John is called to fight back. He becomes a leading opponent of fossil fuels in his community, including the latest extractive frontier: liquid natural gas (LNG) export terminals.

Vs. Goliath tells stories of courage and resistance from the frontlines of the climate crisis. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with activists from the episode.
