The Beaver Believers Film Screening - Postponed

  • Magic Lantern 25 West Main Avenue Spokane, WA, 99201 United States (map)

Due to our concern over the development of the Coronavirus and its impact on our community, we have decided to postpone this film screening. Please follow our website and Facebook page for updates.

Join us for a screening of the award-winning feature documentary, The Beaver Believers, hosted by film maker Sarah Koniegsberg and Eager: The Surprising, Secret Life of Beavers and Why They Matter author and Lands Council board member, Ben Goldfarb.

Doors open at 5:30 pm and the movie starts at 6:00 pm.

The Beaver Believers is an award-winning feature documentary sharing the urgent yet whimsical story of an unlikely cadre of activists - a biologist, a hydrologist, a botanist, an ecologist, a psychologist, and a hairdresser - who share a common vision. They’re all working to restore the North American Beaver, that most industrious, ingenious, bucktoothed little engineer, to the watersheds of the American West. The Beaver Believers encourage us to embrace a new paradigm for managing our western lands, one that seeks to partner with the natural world rather than overpower it. As a keystone species, beaver enrich their ecosystems, creating the biodiversity, complexity, and resiliency our watersheds need to absorb the impacts of climate change. Beavers can show us the way and do much of the work for us, if only we can find the humility to trust the restorative power of nature and our own ability to play a positive role within it. Shot in 8 western states, Mexico, and Canada, through desert drought, raging wild fires, forceful floods, and wetland tranquility, this film will change the way you think about climate change and inspire you to take a bite out of the challenges we face, one stick at a time.
