The Thin Green Line

February 27

The Bay Model Visitor Center presents a screening of the documentary The Thin Green Line.

Australian park Ranger Sean Willmore sold his car, re-mortgaged his house, and traveled the world for 12 months to bring you the story of the sometimes life-threatening challenges his colleagues face each day.

Go off the tourist trail to ride with the guardians of the world’s protected natural gems as they encounter elephant charges in South Africa, walk with armed patrols defending the mountain gorillas of central Africa, and hang from a helicopter high above the Rockies to pluck an injured hiker to safety.

For some, what they call routine is the daily fight to preserve our natural heritage from the constant and violent threat posed by those who would pillage and ravage it for personal gain and profit. It's a compelling story of men and women, often under-resourced and outnumbered, who cope every day with corruption, ignorance, political maneuvering, and greed.
