Paralleling the lives of human and the monarch, The Guardians is a cinematic meditation on life, death, and the lengths we go to for the next generation.

The film will be preceded by a 20 min. presentation on monarch butterflies by Linda McBride of the Butterfly Society of Virginia, then followed by a group discussion led by Kimberly Bridges, Programming Librarian, Henrico County Public Library, based on a Discussion Guide provided by the filmmakers.

The film will be screened in the Meeting Room.
