A Night of Independent Film March 22, 2009

The Greater Reading Film Festival presents their next offering in the monthly A Night of Independent Film Series, Milking the Rhino at the R/C Reading Movies 11 & IMAX on Sunday, Mar. 22 at 7 p.m. Ticket price is $7.00.

Milking the Rhino examines the deepening conflict between humans and animals in an ever-shrinking world. It is the first major documentary to explore wildlife conservation from the perspective of people who live with wild animals. Shot in some of the world’s most magnificent locales, Rhino offers complex, intimate portraits of rural Africans at the forefront of community-based conservation: a revolution that is turning poachers into preservationists and local people into the stewards of their land.

A panel discussion will follow the screening, featuring Al Walentis of the Reading Eagle.
