What better way to start off Earth Day weekend than with a screening and discussion of the inspiring film Green Fire: Aldo Leopold and a Land Ethic for Our Time plus two short films,Walk in Beauty and Sacred Poison.

Bioneers and Santa Fe Independent Film Festival join forces for this special Earth Day Film Event. Join us for a screening of these three important films. 

Following the screening, a Q & A will feature Dave Steinke from the U.S. Forest Service in Denver and organizations currently working on these issues including Mariel Nanasi, Executive Director of New Energy Economy.

Screening and discussion of Green Fire: Aldo Leopold and a Land Ethic for Our Time, plus the short films Sacred Poison and Walk in Beauty: Clean Energy for a Changeable World.

Green Fire: Aldo Leopold and a Land Ethic for Our Time is about legendary environmentalist Aldo Leopold and traces how he shaped and influenced the modern environmental movement.  Also in the film, ranchers in Arizona and New Mexico discuss cooperative community conservation efforts.  

The multiple-award winning Sacred Poison is a powerful witness to the health and lifestyle devastation Navajo families endure resulting from the lasting impacts of uranium mining in Grants, NM.  



The Bioneers Dreaming New Mexico program and New Energy Economy have jointly produced a short film, Walk in Beauty: Clean Energy for a Changeable Worldthat highlights the potential of clean energy on Navajo Nation in northwest New Mexico, which has been adversely affected by coal and uranium development over many decades.
