MESSENGERS Film Screening with Director Greg Balkin and Olympian Magda Boulet
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Wild places are worth protecting, and sometimes the first step in doing that is to take another.
Join Seattle photographer, filmmaker, and director Greg Balkin (@gregbalkin) and olympic runner Magda Boulet (@runboulet) for an intimate screening of MESSENGERS - A Running Story of Bears Ears and Escalante, followed by a Q&A discussion. Beers will be on the house for those 21 and over!
6:30pm - Doors Open7pm - Intro & Film Screening7:20pm - Q&A8pm - Wrap Up
About the film:
On December 4, 2017, President Trump declared a drastic reduction of Utah’s Bears Ears and Grand Staircase Escalante National Monuments. This is the largest elimination of protected land in American history…and the President had made his decision without ever stepping foot there.
On January 13, 2018, a group outdoor athletes and creatives ran 250 miles across both monuments in a single weekend to see for ourselves what would be left protected.
Now more than ever we believe in celebrating the things that unite us. Our run was about finding commonalities in the midst of a divisive political landscape and standing in coalescence— tribal members, athletes, dirtbags — for our public lands. We hope our footsteps carry a message: wild places are worth protecting, and sometimes the first step in doing that is to take another.
