We invite you to our first Sunday Session of 2008: a special evening to raise awareness and funds for the completion of The Vanishing of the Bees. This feature-length documentary takes a piercing investigative look at the economic, political and spiritual implications of the world wide disappearance of the honeybee, a mysterious ecological tragedy that could topple our food chain and forever change our way of life. Sun Jan 27th | 6-12pm | RSVP Required maryam@vanishingbees.com 323 640 9710
There will be a suggested donation for the event, proceeds of which will go to the completion of the film.
Featuring:
The Vanishing of the Bees trailer, the ghost bees and highlights from Hive Mentality Film's latest shoot.
