 of the film.\n\nMONUMENTAL:  DAVID BROWER'S FIGHT FOR WILD AMERICA\n\nFrom 
 the moment David Brower first laid eyes on the beauty of the Yosemite 
 Valley, he fought to preserve the American wilderness for future 
 generations.  The story of a true American legend, this documentary 
 documents the life of this outdoorsperson, filmmaker, and environmental 
 crusader whose fiery dedication not only saved the Grand Canyon but also 
 transformed the Sierra Club into a powerful national political force, 
 giving birth to the modern environmental movement.  At the center of the 
 film are the themes that absorbed David throughout his life:  the 
 threatened beauty of the American earth, the spiritual connection between 
 humans and the great outdoors, and the moral obligation to preserve what is 
 left of the world's natural wonders.  Seen through David’s own eyes -- he 
 was an accomplished filmmaker and his stunning footage is included here -- 
 a 1956 raft trip down Glen Canyon, before its damming up, evokes the awful 
 sadness of losing public land we have failed to protect.  And in period 
 footage of David’s early rock-climbs (done in sneakers, with hemp ropes) 
 and of his training in the Tenth Mountain Division (who defeated the Nazis 
 in the high Alps), Daivd Brower emerges as an unlikely and inspiring 
 national hero.\n\nWheelchair accessible around the corner at  411  28th  
 Street\n\n$5 donations are accepted\n\n\n\n
