Wild Life at The Bedford Playhouse
From Oscar-winning filmmakers Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, Wild Life follows conservationist Kris Tompkins on an epic, decades spanning love story as wild as the landscapes she dedicated her life to protecting. Kris and the outdoorsman and entrepreneur Doug Tompkins left behind the world of successful outdoor brands they’d helped pioneer – Patagonia, The North Face and Esprit – and turned their attention to an effort to create national parks throughout Chile and Argentina via their nonprofit Tompkins Conservation. Wild Life chronicles the highs and lows of their journey to affect the largest private land donation in history.
A Q&A follows the film with Don Weeden, former Executive Director of the Weeden Foundation, a leading funder of conservation efforts in Chilean Patagona, and Tom Butler, conservationist, writer and senior fellow for Northeast Wilderness Trust.
