In an illustrated movie theatre, the image for the film, I Am the Magpie River, shows on the screen. It is a hand under water, reaching out toward the viewer.

Climate Films: I am the Magpie River

Join us to watch a climate-themed movie and have a discussion about the issues raised. Free popcorn is provided!

Join us for our Climate Films Series! On the second Wednesday of each month we will screen a film about the climate crisis, focusing especially on existing, difference-making solutions. We will have a brief discussion after the film led by members of Regenerate BC and the New Westminster Climate Action Hub.

The Magpie River, located in Quebec’s Côte-Nord region, is one of the last great rivers to flow freely in this part of the world. Nestled in a spectacular mountainous landscape, this mighty river flows through an unspoiled boreal forest, inhabited by caribou, wolves and bears. In March 2021, it became the first river in North America to obtain legal personhood, joining pioneering countries such as Bolivia and New Zealand, which have also recognized the rights of nature to rivers and forests, granting them protections comparable to humans.

 

Popcorn will be provided! Bring your own bowl!
