About this event
DocNights, the Jefferson Humanities & Health collaboration with Philadelphia Film Society, continues this fall with a new programming focus: environmental justice.
About the Film and Talkback
Inhabitants follows five Native American Tribes across deserts, coastlines, forests, and prairies as they restore their traditional land management practices. For millennia Native Americans successfully stewarded and shaped their landscapes, but centuries of colonization have disrupted their ability to maintain traditional land management practices. As the climate crisis escalates these time-tested practices of North America's original inhabitants are becoming increasingly essential in a rapidly changing world.
Join a virtual talkback with members of the Inhabitants community: Ben-Alex Dupris, producer; Costa Boutsikaris, co-director; Anna Palmer, co-director; and Michael Johnson, a traditional Hopi farmer and practitioner featured in the film. The discussion will be moderated by Susan Frostén, M.Arch, RA (NYS), LEED AP, Associate Provost for Academic Affairs, Associate Professor of Architecture, College of Architecture and the Built Environment, Thomas Jefferson University.
View the Film
Inhabitants is available to view for free. Participants will receive the link to access the film in the confirmation email upon registering for the talkback.
