SUMMARY:The Keeper Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Attend Jon Bowermaster’s Film Screening of The Keeper at Skidmore College on March 1 at 5pm. \nThe Keeper Description: Like many rivers around the world – the Hudson\, America’s First River and the Birthplace of the American Environmental Movement – boomed as a growing human population used it for transportation\, sustenance and\, for many years\, a dumping ground.  \nThe river paid a price for all this use and abuse\, struggling against its share of contamination. For the past nearly three decades the river’s poet laureate and literal “eyes on the river\,” Captain John\, has been at the forefront of each of those fights\, taking on industrial and human pollution\, suffering the losses and celebrating victories.  \nWhile he has had successes on the Hudson\, committing a life to protecting a river is a never-ending fight. Today\, John Lipscomb is one of more than 300 “Keepers” around the globe\, looking out for their respective rivers.  \nProduced by Carolyn Marks Blackwood and Jon Bowermaster. \nDirected by Jon Bowermaster. \n \nJON BOWERMASTER bio \nWriter\, filmmaker and adventurer\, Jon is a six-time grantee of the National Geographic Expeditions Council. One of the Society’s ‘Ocean Heroes\,’ his first assignment for National Geographic Magazine was documenting a 3\,741 mile crossing of Antarctica by dogsled. \nHe is one of National Geographic’s “Ocean Heroes” and Riverkeeper’s “2022 Hudson River Hero.” \nJon has written eleven books and produced/directed more than thirty documentary films. His feature documentaries include ‘Dear President Obama\,’ ‘Antarctica\, on the Edge\,’ ‘After the Spill’ and ‘Ghost Fleet.’ (oceans8films.com) \nHis National Geographic-sponsored Oceans 8 project took him and his teams around the world by sea kayak over the course of ten years (1999-2008)\, bringing back stories from the Aleutian Islands to French Polynesia\, Gabon to Tasmania\, and more\, reporting on how the planet’s one ocean and its various coastlines are faring in today’s busy world. \nJon lives in New York’s Hudson Valley. He is the President of the One Ocean Media Foundation\, Chairman of the Advisory Board of Adventure Science and Creative Affiliate of The Safina Center.  \nFor the past several years\, Jon and his One Ocean Media Foundation / Oceans 8 Films team have focused on a series of short films about the environmental risks to\, and hopes for the Hudson River Valley\, the birthplace of the American environmental movement.
