MOVIE NIGHT: The Little Things That Run The World
A powerful documentary on the vital role of insects—and a night supporting the Garden Club of Windham. April 17 at The River Room!
🎬 MOVIE NIGHT AT THE RIVER ROOM 🌿
“The Little Things That Run the World”
🐞What if the smallest creatures on Earth held everything together?
🐛 Join us on Friday, April 17th for a special screening of The Little Things That Run the World — a powerful, eye-opening documentary exploring the vital role of insects in sustaining life as we know it.
🐝 From scientists and farmers to gardeners and everyday nature lovers, this film introduces a passionate community working to understand — and protect — the tiny creatures that make up three quarters of all species on Earth. Often called the “glue of life,” flying insects are essential to our ecosystems… yet their populations are declining at alarming rates.
🌎 Having survived for over 440 million years — even outlasting mass extinctions — insects now face one of their greatest threats. What does this mean for the future of our planet? And what can we do about it?
✨ This thought-provoking film explores both the crisis and the hope — highlighting the people and ideas working to change the course of our shared future.
🌱 This Event Supports Local Impact
Proceeds from the evening will benefit the Garden Club of Windham, a group dedicated to beautifying our town, fostering civic pride, and bringing people together through a shared love of gardening — as well as supporting ongoing programming at The River Room.
