The Arctic: Our Last Great Wilderness film (Sierra Club Presentation) In-Person
The Alaska Wilderness League has partnered with the filmmakers to make this 45-minute documentary to highlight the beauty of the Arctic, and the need to protect it. Using breathtaking footage from National Geographic Photographer, Florian Schulz, the film, which appeared in IMAX and giant screen theaters throughout the United States – showcases Alaska’s Arctic, a remarkable place in the far north that few have truly seen until now. Florian and Princess Daazhraii Johnson (Neet’saii Gwich’in) narrate the film, helping to bring its story to life.
In particular, the 19.6 million acres of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge highlighted in the movie are full of life and history. The land is home to hundreds of species of plants, birds, mammals, and fish. It supports Indigenous cultures and has global ecological importance. This public land is at risk and an active campaign persists to advance awareness of the threat and opportunities to protect this unique land.
Lois from Alaska Wilderness League will be present on Zoom and be available for questions.
A meet & Greet will precede each talk. The Hunterdon Warren Chapters of the Sierra Club meetings at NCB are open to all, so feel free to sign up or drop in! Refreshments will be available.
