Come help us celebrate First Friday Film's 2nd anniversary
and World Oceans Day! They're celebrating by showing the film Ocean Frontiers, sponsored by the
Pacific Marine Resources Institute on June 1st, 2012 at 6:30pm
at the American Memorial Park Visitors Center. Following the film, audience members will
also be invited into the courtyard of the Visitor’s Center for a brief
reception.
Ocean Frontiers takes us on an inspiring voyage to
seaports and watersheds across the country—from the busy shipping lanes of
Boston Harbor to a small fishing community in the Pacific Northwest; from
America’s coral reefs in the Florida Keys to the nation’s premier seafood
nursery in the Mississippi Delta. Here we meet a mixture of unlikely allies, of
industrial shippers and whale biologists, pig farmers and wetland ecologists,
sport and commercial fishermen, reef snorkelers and many more, all of them
embarking on a new course of cooperation, in defense of the seas that sustain
us. Filmed in HD, Ocean Frontiers
is a documentary and outreach campaign to inspire and mobilize audiences to
better care for the ocean, for the good of all.
Exhibits by DEQ Marine Monitoring Team, Pacific Marine
Resources Institute, and Marianas Island Nature Alliance will be on display in
the lobby area of the American Visitors
Center before and after the film. After
the film and courtyard reception, movie-goers are invited to join the First
Friday Films crew for dinner at Spicy Thai across from the Park to discuss the
films they’ve viewed and the future of our film program.
First Friday Films is a monthly film series brought to you
through a partnership with the National Park Service and the Division of
Environmental Quality (DEQ), with generous support from community groups and
organizations such as the Pacific Marine Resources Institute, which is
sponsoring this film.
For planning purposes, the movie runs about 80 minutes long.
As always, First Friday Films is free and open to the public.

The movie has exceeded my expectations! It's the way to show that we should care and don't be indifferent. The professor of Iowa University Nickolas Forrest told at writers-house.com: "We are here to protect everyone who's in need".
