An Afternoon with Rodney Stotts, 1pm-4pm
Join Audubon Mid-Atlantic for an Afternoon with Author Rodney Stotts, one of the United States’ Black master falconers and committed conservationists. The afternoon begins with a screening of “The Falconer” a moving documentary that “…follows master falconer Rodney Stotts on his mission to build a bird sanctuary and provide access to nature for his stressed community. The Falconer weaves Rodney's present-day mission with the story of his past, both of which are deeply rooted in issues of social and environmental injustice, and consistently orient the viewer to his worldview: nature heals.” The film will be followed by an interview with Mr. Stotts, presentation of his raptor and a book signing.
