New Leaf Film Series: Gather

The Colonial Theatre’s New Leaf series is created in partnership with the Ammonoosuc Conservation Trust and highlights films about the natural world. 

Tickets: $12 GA, $10 Colonial and Ammonoosuc Conservation Trust Members

Join us on the patio at 7:00PM for snacks from local farms from the Littleton Food Co-op and Taproot.

7:30pm: Dr. Melissa Grella, Taproot’s Founder and Executive Director will begin the evening with a discussion about community education, involvement and how to connect back to local agriculture, followed by the film Gather.

Gather follows the stories of natives on the frontlines of a growing movement to reconnect with spiritual and cultural identities that were devastated by genocide. An indigenous chef embarks on a ambitious project to reclaim ancient food ways on the Apache reservation; in South Dakota a gifted Lakota high school student, raised on a buffalo ranch, is proving her tribes native wisdom through her passion for science; and a group of young men of the Yurok tribe in Northern California are struggling to keep their culture alive and rehabilitate the habitat of their sacred salmon. All these stories combine to show how the reclaiming and recovery of ancient food ways is a way forward for native Americans to bring back health and vitality to their people.
