Eerie Erie

By Jamie Kauffold | May 20, 2023

The Garden Theater in Frankfort will host a screening of The Erie Situation on Monday, May 22, at 7pm, followed by a Q&A with director David J. Ruck. When a bloom of highly toxic algae entered the drinking water plant in Toledo from Lake Erie in 2014, citizens had to go without running water for three days, and the documentary explores a mix of big agriculture, politics, and water security rights. Tickets, $10. gardentheater.org/upcoming-events
