In partnership with The Honors College, NAU and The Orpheum Theater, we bring an array of films that capture how cultures will continue to thrive in the face of climate change, and also modernity. These are films that celebrate the indomitable spirit, reveal human ingenuity and resourcefulness in the face of adversity, and generate the most illuminating discussions on the fate of humankind.

Our feature film is ‘Adaptation: Bangladesh’ by Justin Deshields. Alizé Carrère, Cultural Ecologist, National Geographic Explorer, and subject of the film will be here to present this work, the first in a series of remarkable real-life examples of how people are adapting and innovating in the face of environmental change.

A number initiatives, environmental groups and nonprofits will be present in order to engage with the public on issues of local, national and global importance.
