Sunlight Media Collective film “This River is Our Relative” Screening

York Land Trust, Kennebunk Land Trust, Great Works Regional Land Trust, Kennebunkport Conservation Trust, Kittery Land Trust, Wells Reserve at Laudholm and Arundel Conservation Trust are pleased to co-sponsor a screening of  “This River is Our Relative”, a new Sunlight Media Collective documentary about the Penobscot Nation’s intrinsic kinship connection to and tireless environmental advocacy for the Penobscot River. The story is told through the voices of 24 Penobscot people, who share their experience of historical, physical, and spiritual connection to place; of cultural identity and survival. Their narratives are interwoven with a traditional Wabanaki story about how The People and Glouskap defeated a greedy monster frog, Aklebemu, who was hoarding all the water. This story parallels both historical and present day environmental concerns, and is also the origin story of the Penobscot family Clans.

Tuesday, November 17, 6:30pm-8:30pm at the STAR Theater in Kittery.

Free and open to the public.
