SUMMARY:Beneath the Polar Sun – Film Screening & Director Talk Back
DESCRIPTION:The Watch Hill Conservancy presents a special screening of the 2021 Green Planet Award-winning documentary “Beneath the Polar Sun.” In the Arctic’s last ice area\, 500 nautical miles from the North Pole\, a scientific team is on a rare mission to measure the world’s oldest ice floes. Hauling loaded kayaks\, they know the data\, the models\, and the science\, but nothing has prepared them for the truth on the ground. Witness their struggle to escape the jumbled slabs of sea ice by traversing a narrow channel between Canada and Greenland – the most formidable passage of the polar North. Beneath the Polar Sun won the Green Planet Award from the Rhode Island International Film Festival and was an official selection of the DCEFF – the world’s top Environmental Film Festival. The screening will include a post-screening talk and Q&A with Rhode Island film director Diana Kushner and expedition leader Stephen Smith to discuss their harrowing experience and how the Arctic Ocean plays a vital role in balancing the world’s climate. Joining them will be Chris Horvat\, lead scientist and assistant professor of earth\, environmental and planetary sciences at Brown University. This is a free program sponsored by Tte Watch Hill Conservancy\, but tickets are limited.
