CHICAGO-AREA PREMIERE. FILM DESCRIPTION: “Hike the Divide” follows jaded millennial Connor DeVane 2,700 miles from Canada to Mexico on the Continental Divide Trail as he seeks hope in the face of climate breakdown. The film, structured around a physical journey through environments both harsh and breathtakingly beautiful, shares the stories of the community activists and problem solvers Connor meets, marking a trail from apathy and resignation to hope and engagement.
Join us afterwards for a recorded video Q&A with Connor DeVane, Director of "Hike the Divide." Also learn about related local opportunities for action from West Ridge Nature Preserve, Truman Environmental Club, 350.org, Sierra Club Chicago Chapter, and Green Mountain Energy.
