Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The Global Foundation for Democracy and Development (GFDD) and its sister organization in the Dominican Republic Fundación Global Democracia y Desarrollo (FUNGLODE), will open the IV edition of the Dominican Republic Environmental Film Festival (DREFF) with the screening of Last Call, a movie directed by Enrico Cerasuolo. The DREFF is a five-day event celebrated from 10 to 14 of September 2014 in more than 10 cities across Dominican Republic.

Last Call is a film that analyzes the issue of growth from today’s perspective. In this documentary Cerasuolo, a native of Venice, engages spectators in a compelling story that raises awareness of the urgent need to make the decisions that will safeguard the future of our planet. The film looks at a problem that 40 years ago a team of brave scientists from MIT denounced in the book The Limits to Growth, where they presented their concern about the future of humanity if the pace of global growth continued without any controls.

During the film festival, the filmmaker will participate at the end of some of his film presentations. Enrico Cerasuolo is an experienced documentary director and writer. Since 1992 he is the manager of the production company Audiovisive Zenit Arti in Turin. He has written and directed several international documentaries that have been recognized in national and European festivals, including: From Berlusconi to Garibaldi (2011); The Hidden Face of Fear (2008); Space Hackers (2007); Peter’s Dream (2007); Checosamanca (2006) and The Enigma of Sleep (2004).
