This fall, moviegoers can go on two great adventures in Fernbank's Giant Screen Theatre through the new films, "Jane Goodall - Reasons For Hope" which opens September 23rd, and "Into America's Wild" which opens on October 7th.
Jane Goodall - Reasons For Hope
"Jane Goodall - Reasons for Hope" is a collection of inspiring stories told by Jane Goodall, herself. Across different corners of the globe, audiences will witness that despite years of harm, humans can change and help nature heal - and even thrive - leaving viewers hoping for a brighter future.
Stories include reviving acidic lakes in a regreening project in Sudbury to assist with animal and plant survival, reintroducing American Bison back into Blackfeet territory after near extinction, experimenting with how to collect carbon dioxide directly from the air with a mechanical tree to reduce greenhouse gasses, and the comeback story of reteaching the northern bald ibis how to migrate over the Alps.
Goodall uses four pillars of hope to tie these stories together: amazing human intellect, nature's resilience, the dedication of young people and the determination of the human spirit. It is through these pillars that Goodall reminds audiences of the beauty and fragility of our planet and to embrace compassion, hope and resilience when faced with environmental challenges.
"Jane Goodall - Reasons for Hope" is produced by Science North, in association with Jane Goodall Institute, and distributed by Cosmic Picture.
