Reel Science: Roadless
November 19 | 6:30-8:30 pm
A film and discussion about the proposed Ambler Mining Road in Alaska
6:15 pm | Theater doors open
6:30 pm | Documentary: Roadless
7:30pm | Discussion and Q&A with Robert Lester, Roadless Project Leader, Ben Kaden, Lead Cinematographer, and Jackie Feinberg, National Lands Conservation Campaign Manager, Sierra Club Oregon Chapter
Roadless follows three adventurers as they set out on foot through the Alaskan wilderness with a goal: to follow the entire 211-mile length of the proposed Ambler Mining Road.
160 miles north of the Arctic Circle, the team crosses vast tundra, wild rivers, and pristine forests, bringing audiences directly into one of the most remote and ecologically intact landscapes in North America.
As the miles accumulate, so do the challenges – injuries, exhaustion, hunger, relentless mosquitoes, and the harsh reality of traveling difficult terrain without roads or trails. But the expedition also reveals a landscape few people will ever experience firsthand. Encounters with wildlife, 24-hour sunlight, and the vast Arctic ecosystem offer a glimpse into a remarkable environment that has remained largely untouched by human development.
Roadless is an adventure film about endurance and natural beauty, while exploring what could be lost if the Ambler Road is built.
