New Bedford Whaling Museum Theatre: April 22nd

 

SOUTHCOAST FILM FORUM announces a special Earth Day Screening of the new film WILD LIFE, the story of the visionary effort to effect the largest private land donation in history– over 14 million acres conserved in 17 national parks in Patagonia.

 

After falling in love in midlife, former Patagonia CEO Kris Tompkins and outdoorsman and entrepreneur Doug Tompkins left behind the world of the massively successful outdoor brands  they’d helped pioneer — Patagonia, The North Face and Esprit — and turned their attention to creating National Parks throughout Chile and Argentina.

 

“Free Solo” filmmakers and Academy Award-winners Jimmy Chin and Chai Vasarhelyi produced this extraordinary documentary, with gorgeous landscapes and thrilling Patagonia scenery along with archival footage of the challenges they faced, and their unique love story.

 

FILM STARTS: 7PM

 

Doors open for cash bar and snacks in lobby, 6 PM

South Coast Film Forum is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the power of film, art and ideas to inspire audiences to create a better world.
