Join us for a special screening of the new National Geographic short film, Women of the Wild, which follows a day in the life of Maricarmen Garcia Rivas as she works tirelessly to protect the marine wildlife of the Puerto Morelos National Reef Park in Mexico. Award-winning author Sy Montgomery will introduce the film, and speak with filmmaker Molly Ferrill – who grew up in Temple, New Hampshire and is now a National Geographic Explorer – during a facilitated discussion and Q&A. The evening will also include several fantastic shorts from the Emmy-award-winning local production company, SALT Project.

7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Peterborough Community Theater. Free of charge, but space is limited and registration is required. For more information, including questions about accessibility, contact Susie Spikol.

Registration for this event is now FULL, but a second showing has been added on January 9. Learn more & register for the January 9 event here.
