NatGeo Documentary Film Screening at Patagonia Palo Alto

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join POST and Patagonia Palo Alto for an exclusive and free screening of National Geographic’s newest documentary titled WILD LIFE.  While this event is free and open to the public, space is limited and RSVP is required. The event will take place on Wednesday, June 28, 2023 from 6:00 P.M. – 8:00 P.M at the Patagonia Palo Alto retail store located at 525 Alma St Palo Alto, CA 94301.

It was a chance run-in at a remote Argentinian climbing village in 1991 that changed the life of Kristin McDivitt forever. Though she’d met the infamous Doug Tompkins years prior – he had founded The North Face and Esprit while Kris worked alongside Yvon Chouinard to grow Patagonia – they shared a connection that quickly blossomed into a lifelong romance and partnership. Together, they founded Tompkins Conservation, their sights set on preserving some of the last truly wild land on the planet.

From Oscar®-winning filmmakers Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, WILD LIFE is a sweeping portrait of a conservationist who never stopped evolving and of those who shaped her on a journey to become a global leader of conservation and wildlife preservation. From the epic climbing trips of Doug, Yvon Chouinard and the pioneers of a new kind of outdoor lifestyle to the heated controversy brewing in South America as two Americans purchased local land to a love story as wild as the terrain it unfolded on, the film prompts audiences to ask themselves – what makes life worth living?
