"Arctic Son" at the Little Art, Sunday

New Film Series Announced

The Little Art Theatre is proud to announce a new film series devoted to the issues, stories, and environmental challenges we, and our planet, face. The Environmental Film Series will showcase six premiere documentary films dealing with subjects as diverse as sustainable agriculture and the commercial meat industry, to patenting the world’s food supply, to the power of wind and one person, the challenges of living directly off the land, and the startling beauty of Earth.

Arctic Son (150 min.), Sunday, April 1st 3:00 PM. Admission: $6.00.
Director, Tom Irons.

In the spring of 1992 author Jeanie Aspen, daughter of Alaskan adventurers Constance and Bud Helmericks, set out with her husband, Tom, their 6-year-old son, Luke, and friend Laurie, for fourteen months alone in Alaska’s remote Brooks Range. Flown into the wilderness, the four strive to gain a foothold before winter reclaims the land, a hundred miles from the nearest other people. The following summer they face a perilous 600-mile downriver canoe journey back to the world they left behind. Tom Irons himself will be present for the screening and to answer Q&A afterwards. Don’t miss this special film and a chance to speak with Tom about their experiences and what has transpired since their adventure.
