The Great Northern

Friday, January 30 at 7:30 PM

Join Trust for Public Land for a special showing of the documentary short Harvest.

Firearms always made this middle-aged Black woman nervous. She never imagined herself game hunting, let alone in the backwoods of Minnesota. In fact, the remote forests of Minnesota felt like the least safe place for her. But when she was invited to participate in a mentored hunting trip focused on diversifying and changing the narrative about the hunting community, her spirit told her to go. Confronted with internal conflict and questioning her motives, she embraced the experience and shared the journey. Harvest is a beautifully filmed documentary that walks viewers through the weekend transformation from reluctance to celebration and growth.

This special screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring Nick Bancks, Keng Yang, Ronda Lee Chapman, Misty Blue, and Harvest director Tom Miller.

Event Presented in Partnership with Trust for Public Land.
