Staring Down Fate is a film about searching for purpose in life and in dying. It is a story about 7.4 billion people and our relationship with nature, told through one person’s life–Chris Lucash, a red wolf biologist diagnosed with ALS. As the red wolf population declines, Chris and the red wolves star down fate side-by-side.
There will be a reception at 6 p.m., introductions at 6:30 p.m., and the film will be shown at 7 p.m.
