Chasing Ice
Award Winning Documentary Playing on May 23, 2013 Wood River Land Trust, with our partner, Idaho Conservation League, is pleased to bring Chasing Ice, an extraordinary film about the changing climate and its effects on our world’s glaciers to the Wood River Valley.
Film Synopsis from www.ChasingIce.com:
“In the spring of 2005, acclaimed environmental photographer James Balog headed to the Arctic on a tricky assignment for National Geographic: to capture images to help tell the story of the Earth’s changing climate. Even with a scientific upbringing, Balog had been a skeptic about climate change. But that first trip north opened his eyes to the biggest story in human history and sparked a challenge within him that would put his career and his very well-being at risk.
Chasing Ice is the story of one man’s mission to change the tide of history by gathering undeniable evidence of our changing planet. Within months of that first trip to Iceland, the photographer conceived the boldest expedition of his life: The Extreme Ice Survey. With a band of young adventurers in tow, Balog began deploying revolutionary time-lapse cameras across the brutal Arctic to capture a multi-year record of the world’s changing glaciers.”
Tickets go on sale in early May at WRLT’s office and ICL local headquarters and other locations to be announced. Watch for more details on our website and in the news. We hope to see you there!
