Join us Thursday, April 21, eve of Earth Day at 7 PM for
Love Thy Nature: a film
Renowned actor Liam Neeson narrated Love Thy Nature, a new feature-length documentary.  The film takes viewers on an awe-inspiring journey into the beauty and intimacy of our relationship with nature. And while our environmental crisis threatens the very survival of our own species, Love Thy Nature shows how a renewed connection with nature holds the key to a highly advanced new era in human evolution. Interviews with renowned scientists and scholars explore a new cutting edge science - biomimicry - which taps into nature's four billion years of R&D for some of the most brilliant inventions. In the medical field, doctors are unveiling new findings on the role of nature to heal the body and promote the development of the brain. And the film explores how our very sense of meaning and wonder derive from feeling connected to the natural world. Emmy-nominated director Sylvie Rokab began work on "Love Thy Nature" from a desire to use breathtaking cinematography to awaken viewers' reverence for the natural world. A self-described "technophile-in-love-with-nature," (she is also a cinematographer and editor), Rokab feels that a healthy and sustainable civilization is one that integrates both technology and nature. Rokab says, "Liam Neeson was my first choice. We're most fortunate to have his beautiful voice and spirit breathe life into this film."
