Directed by Kelly Duane, this documentary was shown at last fall's American Conservation Film Festival, and the Festival is cosponsoring its encore showing here.  It chronicles the life work of David Brower (1912 - 2000), a leading American environmentalist who helped build the Sierra Club into a major political force.  Ed Zahniser, whose father authored the Wilderness Act and was a friend of David Brower, will introduce the film and facilitate a post-film discussion.
