Join our hive as we watch Vanishing of the Bees, a documentary described by the press as the “most important film since An Inconvenient Truth.” Following the story for three years, Vanishing of the Bees, narrated by Oscar-nominated Ellen Page chronicles the innermost thoughts and feelings of beekeepers and scientists as they fight to preserve the honeybee and make it through another day. Combining interviews from around the world, animation, 50’s educational films, and breathtaking nature cinematography, Henein and Langworthy present not just a story about Colony Collapse Disorder, but a platform full of solutions, encouraging audiences to be the change they want to see in the world.
Space is limited so please RSVP to anneh@slowfoodaustin.org.
