“Queen of the Sun: What are the Bees Telling Us?”

The Lewisboro Library's series of environmental themed films with discussions continues. "Queen of the Sun: What Are the Bees Telling Us?" is a profound, alternative look at the global bee crisis from Taggart Siegel.

Film Screening: Dear Governor Cuomo, Friday, May 3, South Salem

Environmental Film Series: “Dear Governor Cuomo”

Film and Discussion!

Speakers:

The filmmaker, Jon Bowermaster, will speak after the film! He is a noted oceans expert, award-winning journalist, author, filmmaker, adventurer and six-time grantee of the National Geographic Expeditions Council.

Local political representatives (present and former) who have worked to oppose fracking: Peter Harckham, Bob Castelli and David Buchwald will be on hand to answer questions about how to get effectively proactive in this issue.

The Lewisboro Library's series of environmental-themed films with discussions continues. "Dear Governor Cuomo" documents the response to the news that Governor Andrew Cuomo might lift the four-year moratorium against hydraulic fracturing (fracking) in New York state.

A concert/protest was organized on his doorstep in the state capitol of Albany, an event that brought together scientists, musicians, activists and actors in a scripted night onstage inviting the governor to join the anti-fracking majority in his home state. The film is equal parts message and music.
