DESCRIPTION:Come join Green Planet Films for another film night! We will be screening 
 two short documentary films that feature two very unique and beautiful 
 parts of the world: the deserts of Syria and the Tuamotus Atolls in the 
 South Pacific. Both films highlight the indigenous people living in these 
 remote areas and expose the environmental and social problems that plague 
 them. \n\nGiuseppe Bucciarelli, the writer, director and producer of AHMED 
 AND THE RETURN OF THE ARAB PHOENIX will be in attendance to present his 
 film and answer questions.\n\nBeer and wine will be available for purchase. 
 Socializing at 7:00pm, films start at 8:00pm.\n\nA SLOW BOAT TO SOMEWHERE  
 \nRide along on a rustic, and rusting, Polynesian cargo boat as it makes 
 deliveries to 21 of the globe's most isolated coral reef atolls in the 
 heart of the South Pacific Ocean and documents the impacts the the West has 
 had one these once self sufficient island communities. Along the 3,000-mile 
 route meet black pearl divers, the man who found the Kon Tiki, Marlon 
 Brando's "Mutiny on the Bounty" girlfriend, a ship laden with NFL-sized 
 crewman and many more . . . all set against the backdrop of a 
 fast-and-forever changing Paradise.  Film by Jon Bowermaster.     23 
 min\n\nAHMED AND THE RETURN OF THE ARAB PHOENIX \nMeet Ahmed, a Bedouin 
 sheep herder who has committed his life to saving the Bald Ibis, a 
 critically endangered bird with a face "only a mother could love." The 
 rapid extinction of this rare bird is the result of increasing human 
 population, hunting and land degradation. Ahmed and his small team of 
 fellow Preservationists have made it their mission to save the Bald Ibis, 
 and inextricably, Ahmed's land and culture.  Film by Giuseppe Bucciarelli.
