Join us for a documentary about the story of our forest as told by Maliseet, Mi’kmaq and Passamaquoddy elders. As part of our celebration of the 5 Days for the Forest, the Conservation Council and Cinema Politica Fredericton are screening A Beautiful Forest by the Aboriginal Peoples’ Television Network (APTN).
The film includes the thoughts of Andrea Bear Nicholas, Darrell Nicholas, Chief Hugh Akagi, Cecelia Brooks and others well known in our communities for their activism in defence of our lands and waters.
The documentary highlights the current state of our forest from the point of view of indigenous peoples that have been living here for thousands of years. Watching this documentary will take you on a journey beyond the science behind our forest, effectively showing that the forest must be valued for more than just timber.
A Beautiful Forest will make you think about your part in the fight to conserve and restore our forests.
When: Friday, September 23rd at 6:00 pm
Where: Conserver House, 180 St. John St., Fredericton
With post-film discussion with Bill Parenteau, UNB historian, and Lloyd Salomone, film producer, and others TBA.
