Film Screening: A Will For The Woods

Film Screening: A Will For The Woods

What if our last act could be a gift to the planet? Capturing the genesis of a revolutionary social and environmental movement, A Will for the Woods draws the viewer into a life-affirming and immersive portrait of people embracing their connection to timeless natural cycles.

Musician, folk dancer, and psychiatrist Clark Wang prepares for his own green burial, determined that his final resting place will benefit the earth. He has discovered a movement that uses burial to conserve and restore natural areas, forgoing toxic, wasteful funeral practices engineered to preserve the body at the ecosystem’s expense. Clark, a spirited and charismatic advocate, sets out to save a tract of forest with the help of green burial pioneers and a compassionate local cemetarian.

While he continues to battle cancer, he and his partner Jane find great comfort in the thought that his death – whenever it may happen – will be a force for regeneration. As the film follows Clark’s dream of leaving a loving, permanent legacy, environmentalism takes on a deeply human intimacy. 7:30pm | $12, $9 mbrs.
