Post-screening Q&A panel discussion featuring Filmmaker Mark Kitchell and John Harte, Professor of Ecosystem Sciences, UC Berkeley

Mark Kitchell's First Career Retrospective at the Rafael Film Center will conclude with A Fierce Green Fire: The Battle for a Living Planet on April 19 at 7:15pm. Screened in anticipation of Earth Day, Mark Kitchell’s epic documentary is the first big-picture exploration of the environmental movement: grassroots and global activism spanning 50 years from conservation to climate change. Rich with archival footage, the film focuses on movements more than issues, unfolding in five acts, narrated successively by Robert Redford, Ashley Judd, Van Jones, Isabel Allende and Meryl Streep.

This program is part of SCIENCE ON SCREEN, a series matching the art of film with experts in scientific fields addressing topics that affect our lives. Science on Screen is an initiative of the Coolidge Corner Theatre, in partnership with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
