*Air---The Search for One Clean Breath*

During the January "From Shore to Sea" lectures, Barbara Page of the 
Ventura County Air Pollution Control District (VCAPCD) will introduce 
/Air---The Search for One Clean Breath /and lead a discussion following 
the film's showing.

Award-winning actor Joe Mantegna narrates this biography of air---the 
invisible character essential to all life. Filmed in high definition 
with state-of-the-art animation and live action, the film takes viewers 
on a guided tour of the story of air, from its ancient beginnings to 
today's clean air technologies. On this international trip, viewers meet 
renowned scientists and scholars who are discovering the secrets of air 
quality. /Air---The Search for One Clean Breath /inspires viewers to 
protect this precious natural resource.

Page, manager of VCAPCD's Public Information Division, is one of the 
film's writers and also served as its executive producer. The film was 
originally funded by a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency and debuted in April 2008. VCAPCD is distributing the film to air 
quality agencies in the United States. A teachers' guide is being 
developed that will accompany the film for classroom use.

The "From Shore to Sea" lecture series is jointly sponsored by Channel 
Islands National Park and Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary with 
generous support from Santa Barbara Maritime Museum. The purpose of the 
series is to further the understanding of research on the Channel 
Islands and surrounding waters. The lectures occur at 7:00 p.m. on 
Tuesday, January 13, 2009, at Santa Barbara Maritime Museum, 113 Harbor 
Way in the Santa Barbara Harbor and Wednesday, January 14, 2009, at the 
Channel Islands National Park Robert J. Lagomarsino Visitor Center, 1901 
Spinnaker Drive in the Ventura Harbor. The programs are free and open to 
the public.
