July 18th- Movie Night with BRN: Agave is Life
Details:
When: Thursday, July 18th, 6PM-7:30PM
Location: Patagonia Creative Arts Association/Tin Shed Theater (304 Naugle Ave. Patagonia, AZ 85624)
Borderlands Restoration Network (BRN) is pleased to sponsor this free showing of Agave Is Life as part of our Field School
program to inspire the next generation of environmental restoration leaders.
Texas-based archaeologists Meredith Driess and David Brown take the viewer on a 10,000 year visual exploration of the symbiotic relationship between agave and the humans who have depended upon it. Agave Is Life, narrated by Edward James Olmos, delves into the ceremonial and sacred importance of this multi-purpose plant, native to the Americas. From the ancient past to the present we learn how agave became embedded in myth, religion and cultural identity.
The film ends with a look to the future as today’s scientists worry about the loss of species and related human folkways—emblematic of planet-wide concerns about sustainability and our environment.
Event is free, open to the public including a brief presentation prior from BRN staff, and a Q & A following the film.
Our Native Plant Nursery will also have mini Agaves for sale following the film.
