Indie Lens Pop-Up: Eating Up Easter Online Screening

Threatened by climate change and globalization, remote Easter Island provides a wake-up call for the rest of the world.  Join Indie Lens Pop-up national screening

More than just a picture postcard of iconic stone statues, Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island, is a microcosm of a planet in flux. Native Rapanui grapple with a booming tourism trade that rakes in money, but brings about a changing climate that threatens the fragile ecology on the island. Rapanui filmmaker Sergio Mata’u Rapu gives voice to his fellow islanders, who struggle to balance their strong cultural heritage with modern-day challenges. Join Indie Lens Pop-up on Tuesday, May 26, 2020 at 8:00 p.m. for a FREE virtual screening and panel discussion will follow. Event details and registration here.
