World Premiere Screening: Human Footprint
Exclusive world-premiere pre-screening of PBS Prime Science Series Human Footprint, a six-part documentary series that will air this summer on all PBS platforms. Hosted by biologist and Princeton University professor Shane Campbell-Staton, Ph.D., the series dissects all the ways humans have transformed the planet. Part science series and part travel show, Shane journeys from farms to restaurants, from high-tech labs to sweltering street markets, discovering the impact of humans and how our actions give us a clearer vision of who we really are as a species. This Nat Talk serves as a chance to see one of the episodes before it airs, meet Shane, and hear from the filmmakers at Day’s Edge Productions, which is based here in San Diego. In the episode “The Urban Jungle,” Shane meets three species thriving in the city, reckons with our complex history in cities, and envisions a new and wilder urban future.
