Cinema Series

Welcome to our new monthly film club, the Kanopy Cinema Series, designed to connect faculty, students, and clubs with filmmakers, activists, and experts through a monthly spotlight of Kanopy films. 

Each month we highlight a film meant to encourage discussion and dialogue among faculty and students 


As we look towards Earth Day, we’re spotlighting a 2023 film coming to Kanopy, Canary, which will alter your perception about climate science and the power of perseverance.

Experience the remarkable journey of Dr. Lonnie Thompson, called the “Indiana Jones of Climate Science” who pushes boundaries to understand Earth’s history trapped in
tropical glaciers on high peaks. His pioneering work, battling climate change, becomes a race against time to preserve invaluable historical data before it vanishes forever.

Watch free on Kanopy starting April 1!

After viewing the film, join us on April 3 at 1pm EST for a LIVE Q&A with the subject of the film, Dr. Lonnie Thompson, and the co-director Danny O’Malley and Alex Rivest. Moderated by journalist Eve Batey.

Register for the Q&A now

You can pre-submit questions you’d like answered during our live webinar. It’s going to be an engaging event; we hope you can make it!
