Join us for a gripping evening of film, science, and conversation as we watch an advance screening of The Python Hunt—a documentary from Artists Equity that dives deep into the connection between the ecological crisis in the Florida Everglades and invasive Burmese pythons. 🐍"Every year, the Florida government calls upon the general public to compete in an invasive python removal contest in the Everglades in an attempt to save the threatened ecosystem. For ten grueling nights, an eclectic group of amateur hunters confront the dangerous terrain, nocturnal creatures and their own tiny demons. Meanwhile, one professional hunter leads the charge to undermine the competition, questioning what hides beneath the python mania gripping the ‘glades. The Python Hunt is Artists Equity’s third documentary feature, following U2’s Kiss the Future and Jennifer Lopez’s The Greatest Love Story Never Told."
After the film, stick around for a thought provoking panel discussion featuring important voices from the film and Field Museum. 🗣️
