Schedule of Events

4:00pm - The Grab

An investigative journalist uncovers the money, influence and alarming rationale behind covert efforts to control the most vital resource on the planet.

From the Center for Investigative Reporting Studios and director Gabriela Cowperthwaite.

7:30pm - The Scale Of Hope

The film's subject is Molly Kawahata, a former climate advisor to the Obama White House. She is also a dedicated alpine climber who dreams of climbing higher and more challenging summits as she continues to hone her climbing skills. This desire to overcome seemingly impossible situations is mirrored in her lifelong passion for helping the environment and alleviating the effects of global climate change. As she works hard to prepare for a climbing expedition in the Alaska Range, Molly is also working on a hope-centered strategy and narrative in addressing climate change. And in a life-affirming twist, her mental health struggles allow her to find a way.
