Chasing Ice screens at the OKCMOA this weekend In the spring of 2005, acclaimed environmental photographer James Balog headed to the Arctic on a tricky assignment for National Geographic: to capture images to help tell the story of the Earth’s changing climate. Even with a scientific upbringing, Balog had been a skeptic about climate change. But that first trip north opened his eyes to the biggest story in human history and sparked a challenge within him that would put his career and his very well-being at risk. His story is told in Chasing Ice, a documentary that will screen at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art Jan. 24, 27, and 31. More information about the film, including the official trailer can be found at okcmoa.com.
