Sustainable Film Series: Fire Lines & About Damn Time
Overview



Kick off the film series with a double feature of two adventure packed films that highlight the ways in which historically overlooked communities are reclaiming outdoor spaces.
Fire Lines follows Greg Williams, a father and mountain biker who works in Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship. Fire is a part of the Sierra Nevada ecosystem, and as Greg puts it, environmental stewards are, “in the business of revitalizing mountain communities, and trails are the tools.” Trails are integral for managing wildfires in the Sierra Nevadas, and mitigating massive outbreaks by facilitating controlled, small-scale burns. As an Indigenous American, Greg’s connections to the land show him the powerful role fire plays in shaping the Sierra Nevadas.
About Damn Time is an uplifting film about overcoming obstacles in the way of women who aspire to lead dory guide trips along the Grand Canyon. Cindell “Dellie” Dale was among the second generation of women leading these guided trips, working her way up after being told the only work she could do in the canyon was cooking. She knew she was capable- all she needed was an opportunity. The film follows a trip along the canyon, as a team of all-female guides reflect on the legacy which the women who occupied the space before them have left on the canyon.
The Sustainable Film Series raises awareness and encourages community dialogue about environmental issues afflicting our world through award-winning independent featured films. This year Walking Mountains will continue to provide films at Riverwalk Theater in Edwards. A virtual option may also be available for those not able to attend in person. All films start at 6:30pm and are free and open to the public.
