The Lorraine Boccardo Theater
Red Rock Rondo explores this spectacular place and its people through their stories put to
music by Phillip Bimstein, former mayor of Springdale, Utah, which borders the Park, weaving
together the contemporary and historical, creating a rich portrait of this spectacular place and
the people whose lives are so intricately connected to and affected by it. These songs cover the
pioneering of Virgin River Valley by Mormon settlers in the mid-19th century, the founding of
Zion National Park in the 20th century, and up to modern times where retirees, artists and
urban refugees have come to find their own piece of paradise.

Gunfighters: Living The Legend looks at the gunfighter and the weapon that made him legend as well as those today who seek to keep the ideas of the Old West alive today.

Gunfighters: Living The Legend is a documentary that takes a unique look at the historical aspects of the Old West and reveals the effects of the media on our modern perception of the gunfighter. Additionally, it takes a look at the people and groups who are working today to keep the history and the idea of the Old West alive.

This film takes the viewer on an enthralling, and very engaging, look at the topsy-turvey season of the Golden Age League played in Corona Park, Queens.

The competitive league is made up of Latin American players (all over 40) — some of which played professionally back in their homelands — duking it out each Saturday on a patch of grass. Despite their former glory (not to mention the addition of a few hanging guts and some aching muscles), it doesn’t stop the players from competing among a flurry of passion and, very often, red cards.

Over the past fifty years, four federal dams impounding the Lower Snake River in Washington
State have been identified as the root cause for the demise of all of Idaho’s anadromous fish.
“The Snake and the Whale” reveals the corrupt deals behind the dams’ construction and the
subsequent campaigns to hide their role in this ongoing ecological disaster. Additionally, the
dams have profoundly impacted a group of Killer Whales off the coast of Washington, known as
the Southern Resident Orca, which rely on Snake River salmon as a primary food supply. These
majestic creatures are now atop the Endangered Species list.

Black Outside
Friday, January 2, 7:30pm
The Lorraine Boccardo Theater
“That’s for White people.”
A phrase that infuriated Gary Wilkerson, Jr. as a young, Black kid asking to do outdoorsy things, like camping. He wasn’t old enough to understand that it was a warning, passed down from generations of Black Americans who weren’t permitted to explore the outdoors for fear of being killed.
To confront this inherited fear, Gary resolves to conquer the Pacific Crest Trail, a grueling 2,600 mile thru-hike from Mexico to Canada that takes six months to complete. With the guidance and support of his ride-or-die, Mary, Gary sets off on the adventure of a lifetime. But this treacherous journey is no easy feat – especially for a guy who’s never spent a night outside in his life. As he struggles to navigate the breathtaking wilderness and difficult terrain, we follow his profound path to self-discovery, forming unexpected bonds with fellow hikers and challenging the notion of what happens to Black people in the woods.
