Tales from Planet Earth Presents Mother: Sisterhood in the Wild

A group of women dressed in waders and holding fishing rods, standing in a stream against a scenic background.

“How do I, as a BIPOC woman, fit into nature?”

“What role do women play in preserving our outdoor spaces?”

These are some of the questions explored in Mother: Sisterhood in the Wild, a new documentary feature film by Chad Brown. Join the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies as we host a free screening of the film, followed by a moderated panel discussion with the filmmaker.
