YASUNI: Marda Loop Justice Film Festival (Calgary) - Nov 14

There are more tree and animal species in a single hectare of Yasuni National Park in Ecuador than there are in Canada, Mexico and the U.S.A. combined.

Unfortunately, underneath that land are billions of dollars of oil reserves. which could help lift the Central American country out of poverty.

The annual Marda Loop Justice Film Festival, which starts Wednesday, Nov. 13, explores this conflict in the Canadian premiere of the doc Yasuni on Thursday, Nov. 14.

We asked WAYPOINTS fans to make an evening of it by coming early to "Enjoy a tasty dinner and a great movie". 

Many did just that! 

Just before the 7:00 pm start time for WAYPOINTS, Sticky Ricky's owner, Victoria, told us she was very happy with the number of Cajun/Creole meals that went through her food truck’s service window!

Early adopters! These folks were the first in line for the River Boat Queen. Many others followed. Some opted for the long padded bench seat and the small round tables.

Others preferred the tall bar-style seats and the counter ledge.
