DOCUMENTARIES
"The Pollinators"
Sun, March 6, 2022 @ 9:00 AM – 11:30 AM PST
RSVP: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-pollinators-watch-party-tickets-254612231037
Peter Nelson/2019/92 min/Sustainable Food-Agriculture, Conservation, Wildlife
FILM DESCRIPTION: Honey bee colonies are dying at extraordinary rates. Close to half of the bee colonies in the United States are collapsing every year. The Pollinators takes us on a cinematic journey across the United States following migratory beekeepers and their truckloads of honey bees as they pollinate the flowers that become the fruits, nuts and vegetables we eat. Hear farmers, scientists, chefs, economists and academics explain the threats to honey bees and what it means to our food security.
"My Octopus Teacher"
Sun, March 6, 2022 @ 1:00 PM – 3:30 PM PST
RSVP: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/my-octopus-teacher-watch-party-tickets-254761357077
Pippa Ehrlich and James Reed/2020/85 min/Wildlife, Conservation, Water
FILM DESCRIPTION: This Oscar-winning film follows Craig Foster as he begins a daily diving regimen in the freezing kelp forests of South Africa. What he discovers below the water’s surface is a totally alien motivation in the form of an unusually curious octopus. This beautiful record of an animal’s entire life was shot over a whole year and explores the habits and personality of a strange, undulating creature that most of us have only ever eaten. This film paints an immersive portrait of human-animal understanding, brimming with danger, drama, and devastating emotion.
Recommended for ages 8+ general audiences.

FILM DESCRIPTION: The Ironbound district of Newark, New Jersey, is one of the most toxic neighborhoods in the country. Maria Lopez-Nuñez, a Honduran-American resident there, is waging war for environmental justice. She is part of the Ironbound Community Corporation, one of the country's most effective environmental justice organizations. The Sacrifice Zone follows Maria as she leads a group of activists determined to break the cycle of disadvantaged communities of color serving as dumping grounds for our consumer society.
