Wild & Scenic Film Festival to make Green Bay debut

A film festival new to Green Bay will put the spotlight on environmental issues with the aim of helping to preserve Wisconsin’s waters.

The Wild & Scenic Film Festival will be held at 7 p.m. April 20 at Backstage at the Meyer in Green Bay. Seven award-winning short and medium-length films on a variety of environmental themes will be screened. Among the titles are “The Wild President,” about President Jimmy Carter paddling the Chattooga River’s Bull Sluice; “The Super Salmon,” about the journey of a salmon who beat all odds; and “One Hundred Thousand Beating Hearts,” about a fourth-generation cattleman who evolves from an industrial farmer to a sustainable, humane food producer.
