Giants Rising – Green Film Series

As part of our 20th year anniversary celebration, The Marjorie Luke Theatre has created a Green Film Series. Throughout 2024 we will be offering films, panel discussions, speakers and art-exhibits with environmental themes. We will be focusing on environmental issues facing California, and primarily the Central Coast.

The third film of The Marjorie Luke Theatre’s Green Film Series, Giants Rising. The film reveals the secrets and the saga of the coastal redwoods—the tallest and among the oldest living beings on Earth. It’s an epic tale that immerses us in the wonders and majesty of these trees, while exploring our ever-evolving relationship with them. Living links to the past, redwoods hold powers that may play a role in our future, including their ability to withstand fire and capture carbon, to offer clues about longevity, and even to enhance our own well-being. Through the voices of scientists, artists, Native communities and others, we discover the many connections that sustain these forests —and the promise of solutions that will help us ALL rise up to face the challenges that lay ahead.
