AVON THEATER SCREENING of "FUTURE EARTH: 100 HEARTBEATS" FOLLOWED Q&A WITH PRODUCER TIM SMITH '75
Join us at the Avon Theater in Stamford for the screening of the blockbuster documentary produced by Brown alum Tim Smith '75, "Future Earth: 100 Heartbeats," hosted by naturalist and TV personality Jeff Corwin. We learn that Earth’s animal species are facing what scientists are now calling, The Sixth Extinction. The cause of this Sixth Extinction? As Pogo said, “We have met the enemy and he is us.” It is an extinction caused by what we humans are doing to the world – from pollution to habitat destruction to global warming. Corwin focuses not only on the growing menace of species extinction but also on the life affirming solutions being developed to stop it. He travels the globe to showcase evocative stories of survival and renewal. Based on his own book of the same title soon to be published, this film is an evocative and personal journey for Jeff Corwin. Producer Tim Smith '75 is a veteran of both television and web production, having worked over the years for The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, Unapix Entertainment, Newsweek Productions, Docere Digital Studios and now, MSNBC, where he is a senior producer with the Long Form (documentary) unit. Location: Avon Theater, 272 Bedford Street, Stamford. Pre-movie Drinks: Meet for drinks at 5:30pm at The Brick House Grill (244 Bedford Street, Stamford). Tickets: $6 for Brown Club Members and Avon Theater Members, $10 for non-members, $7 for students and seniors.
