Free screening! Presented by Renew Missouri.

Details About the Film

This film is part of the series Wired: Energy Policy on Film

Three decades ago, the world was on the precipice of stopping global warming, but those efforts were hindered. Offering an explanation of the approach to climate policy in our current moment, The White House Effect exclusively uses archival footage to craft the dramatic origin story of the climate crisis and the American political machinations that led to it. This free screening, presented by Renew MO, will be followed by a panel discussion exploring the topics within the film.

Please note that FREE tickets for the public will be available at the Ragtag Box Office starting Wednesday, August 26 at 12PM. 

No more than two free tickets will be given to one person.

A free ticket guarantees you a seat until 10 minutes before showtime and not after. If all tickets have been distributed and there are open seats at 10 till, we will start seating the theater from the waiting list (queue). Ticket holders will continue to be admitted at this time if seats are available. This policy allows us to start on time and give the audience a distraction-free experience.
