SUMMARY:PRAIRIE PROPHECY in collaboration with Berkshire Community Land Trust and Roaring Brook Family Foundation
DESCRIPTION:The story of Wes Jackson\, a visionary scientist\, farmer\, and co-founder of The Land Institute. Jackson inspired a global movement toward sustainability through his work in perennial and natural systems agriculture. \n2025 – US – 60 minutes \nGet Tickets - Click Here\nTickets: Free for REEL Friends; $15 for Soon-To-Be REEL Friends (advanced ticket purchase highly recommended for this event). \nPRAIRIE PROPHECY explores a recommended revolutionary way of thinking about agriculture—one rooted in nature\, resilience\, and long-term stewardship of the land. Drawing on the ideas of scientist-farmer Wes Jackson and the work of The Land Institute\, the film examines how perennial and natural systems agriculture offer practical responses to soil loss\, climate change\, and the future of food. Thoughtful\, visually rich\, and inviting\, PRAIRIE PROPHECY encourages viewers to engage with sustainability not as an abstraction\, but as a human-scale story with real-world relevance. \nThe screening will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by Lillian Lennox and featuring Michael Johnson\, Director and Executive Producer of Prairie Prophecy; Bill Vitek\, Middlebury College and Director of the Perennial Project; Will Conklin\, (Executive Director of Greenagers and participant in the Land Institute’s Perennial Atlas Project)\, and Piyush Labhsetwark\, GROW FOOD Northampton and Land Stewardship Manager\, and Kernza farmer. A reception in the Triplex Lobby will follow the discussion. \nIn collaboration with Berkshire Community Land Trust and Roaring Brook Family Foundation\nwww.berkshirecommunitylandtrust.org \nSupported by Lee Bank and Schumacher Center for New Economics.

SUMMARY:Out of Plain Sight - Environmental Film Focus Series | Screening October 12th\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, October 12\, 2025 3:00 PM EDT\nTriplex #3 \nGet Tickets ($15 general admission / Free for REEL Friends) \nGet Tickets\nFrom the Los Angeles Times and Pulitzer Prize-finalist Rosanna Xia\, OUT OF PLAIN SIGHT is a cinematic exposé of an environmental disaster lurking just off the coast of Southern California. \nNot far from Catalina Island\, aboard one of the most-advanced research ships in the world\, David Valentine discovered a corroded barrel on the seafloor that gave him chills. The full environmental horror sharpens into greater clarity once he calls Xia\, who pieces together a shocking revelation: In the years after World War II\, as many as half a million barrels of toxic waste had been quietly dumped into the ocean – and the consequences continue to haunt the world today. \nThere will be a Q&A immediately following the film
