Join us for popcorn and a movie, followed by energizing discussion on environmental conservation with
the filmmaker. Call of Life: Facing the Mass Extinction is a documentary by Species Alliance, a non-profit
organization working to raise public awareness on the importance of biodiversity. If current trends
continue, scientists warn that within a few decades at least half of all plant and animal species on Earth
will disappear forever. Call of Life is the first feature documentary to investigate the growing threat to
Earth’s life support systems from this unprecedented loss of biodiversity. Through interviews with
leading scientists, psychologists, historians, and others, the film explores the causes, the scope, and the
potential effects of the mass extinction. The film also looks beyond the immediate causes of the crisis to
consider how our cultural and economic systems, along with deep-seated psychological and behavioral
patterns, have allowed and continue to reinforce the situation, and even determine our response to it.
Rhea Landig, Executive Director for Species Alliance, will introduce the film and answer audience
questions.
