Green Screens at eTown Hall is an environmental documentary and community engagement series that aims to further discussion and action around climate and environmental issues. 

Each screening event will include an interactive panel discussion and audience Q&A featuring experts from diverse professional backgrounds. Local environmental organizations and initiatives will also be on hand to share ideas, network, and recruit volunteers.


Thousands of semi-trailers crisscross the country in the dead of night delivering goods through the darkness to stores, warehouses and factories nationwide. But some of them carry an unsuspected and highly unusual cargo. Honey bees. Tens of billions of them are transported back and forth from one end of the United States to the other in a unique annual migration that’s indispensable to the feeding of America. One out of every three bites we eat, the growth of almost all our fruits, nuts and vegetables, would be impossible without pollination from bees.

A new documentary feature, The Pollinators, directed by Peter Nelson and produced by Sally Roy, Nelson and Michael Reuter, presents the fascinating and untold story. And warns that the bees are in serious danger.



Doors: 6:00pm

Event Start: 7:00pm 


A panel discussion and audience Q&A will follow the screening. This event's panelists include:

Tim Brod is the founder, owner, and operator of Highland Honey, a Boulder County bee operation. He is an educator and advocate for all pollinators. He has worked with honey bees and agricultural development concerns all over the world. Tim believes that honey, like wine, coffee, chocolate, and cheese, is part of America’s epicurean food awakening.
