WILD HOPE is a new series of short films highlighting the intrepid changemakers who are working to restore and protect our planet. Each episode inspires audiences with stories of bold interventions, unexpected alliances, and nature’s resilience.

Following the screening, join Sean B. Carroll and scientists from the films for a lively discussion about the importance of showcasing successes, and the power of positive storytelling to change the narrative, create a sense of community, and inspire hope.

Dinner will be served as part of this screening. More information, including registration, available here.
