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.
