Roots of Resilience Film Festival: Cultivating Sustainable Community in the High Country
Sustainability endeavors are growing strong in our community. In the High Country, we share a rich history of working together to ensure that our mountain region will forever be a wonderful place to call home. The Roots of Resilience Film Festival celebrates some of these efforts through a series of seven mini-documentaries, each spotlighting local people and organizations working on various dimensions of cultivating sustainable community, including:
ASU Office of Sustainability (campus sustainability)
Blue Ridge Conservancy (land protection)
Blue Ridge RC&D (fire-adapted communities)
Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture (sustainable agriculture)
New River Conservancy (water protection)
Todd Listening Project (community development)
Valle Crucis Community Park (environmental education)
This event is hosted by participants in the Sustainable Development course Outreach Skills for Sustainability, including students and instructor Laura England (englandle@appstate.edu).
Special thanks to Tom Hansell of University Documentary Film Services for assisting the class in planning and creating these mini-documentary films.
