6:00pm | Free Screening and Discussion, No Ticket Required

Matthew Nash of Lesley University’s College of Art + Design will introduce the film and lead the post-screening discussion.

In a future Earth barren of all flora and fauna, the planet’s ecosystems exist only in large pods attached to spacecraft. When word comes in that the pods are to be jettisoned into space and destroyed so that the spacecraft can be reused for commercial purposes, most of the crew of the Valley Forge rejoice at the prospect of going home. Not so for botanist Freeman Lowell, who decides to take matters into his own hands to protect what he loves.

Admission to this screening is free and first-come, first-served beginning at 5:30pm on the day of the show. No tickets are available in advance for this screening.
