The Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, a Durham-based event dedicated to the theatrical exhibition of nonfiction cinema, is hitting the road to bring a film screening to the Charlotte area, as part of Common Ground, a traveling program that facilitates free documentary screenings and discussions in small towns throughout North Carolina.
Full Frame is partnering with the Cleveland County Arts Council and Gardner-Webb University Life of the Scholar Program to present the award-winning documentary Kifaru.
The screening takes place Thursday, October 24th, 2019, at 7 p.m., at The Don Gibson Theatre, 318 S. Washington Street, Shelby.
Doors will open at 6:30 p.m.
There will be a post-film discussion with Kifaru producer, Andrew Harrison Brown.
It’s a free event. Please follow this link to RSVP.
The film follows a dedicated team of rangers in Kenya who are watching over Sudan, the world’s last male northern white rhino. Rampant poaching has decimated his subspecies, yet hope remains thanks to his incredible caregivers who are set on both preventing and recovering loss.
Kifaru was the winner of the Environmental Award and Audience Award for best feature-length documentary at the 2019 Full Frame Documentary Film Festival.
