Silent Running: Screening + Science on Screen® Presentation by Conservationist Jacob Reiter

SILENT RUNNING begins after the end of all botanical life on Earth, and follows ecologist Freeman Lowell (Bruce Dern), who maintains a greenhouse on a space station in order to preserve various plants for future generations. Assisted by three robots and a small human crew, Lowell rebels when he is ordered to destroy the greenhouse in favor of carrying cargo, a decision that puts him at odds with everyone but his mechanical companions. Lowell and his robots are forced to do anything necessary to keep their invaluable greenery alive.

Before the film, join Jacob Reiter, Conservation Center Manager for The Suburban Biodiversity Conservation Center at Pace University, for a presentation on the importance of biodiversity and its role in our future as part of Science on Screen. Tickets on sale now: https://bit.ly/4jJiocc
