NSU to host “Common Enemy” documentary screening

TAHLEQUAH, Okla.— Northeastern State University will host a screening of “Common Enemy,” a documentary about the consequences of factory farming, this month.

 “Common Enemy,” a production of the Humane League, documents the devastating environmental impact of factory farms on small-town America and features the scenic Illinois River and Tahlequah area water conservationists.

Filmmaker Adam Peditto offers a look at the sobering consequences of factory farms, also known as concentrated animal feeding operations, CAFOs.  Firsthand accounts from Oklahoma residents pushing back against industrialized animal agriculture include those of Pamela Kingfisher, a Cherokee Nation member, former Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson, and Denise Deason-Toyne, president of Save the Illinois River, Inc., STIR.

The film is produced by José Elias, edited by Angel Lugo, alongside videographer/animator Mark Middleton, a board member of the Humane League.

“Common Enemy” is especially relevant at this time in Oklahoma after a United States Federal District Court ruling that poultry waste is responsible for the pollution of the Illinois River watershed and Lake Tenkiller.

The screening will take place on Wednesday, April 24 at 6:30 p.m. in the Webb Auditorium on the NSU Tahlequah campus. A reception will precede the showing at 5 p.m.

The event is sponsored by the NSU Department of Geography & Political Science and the Freshwater Sciences Program in cooperation with the Kirkpatrick Foundation of Oklahoma.
