We are thrilled to invite you to a private, sneak peek screening of a new documentary by an award-winning filmmaker. This film chronicles the extraordinary journey of Dr. Samantha Monier, a charismatic field biologist who leads a groundbreaking research expedition to the remote island of South Georgia. The film highlights the extreme discoveries made by Dr. Monier and her team as they uncover the secrets of the polar region’s majestic wildlife. Through her eyes, we witness the dedication, passion, and resilience of those who are not only exploring but also working to preserve our planet’s most fragile ecosystems. The film offers a refreshingly unconventional take on the nature documentary genre, emphasizing the critical role of women in pushing the boundaries of scientific discovery. The evening kicks off with an open bar happy hour on the terrace at 22 Vanderbilt and the film will begin at 7pm. Following the screening, there will be a panel Q&A with the film's director and lead expeditionist, Dr. Samantha Monier, moderated by WINGS Associate Board members and co-hosts Frankie deGruy and Caroline Williams. This event is dedicated to supporting WINGS mission of uplifting women in exploration and cutting-edge discoveries, as well as New York City's first film festival dedicated to climate. We can't wait to see you!
