At YETI, we talk of the wild. We explore it. We worship it. Hell, every product we make is “Built for the Wild.” Which is why the YETI Film Tour is back again, with all proceeds going toward celebrating and protecting our wild country. Each stop will feature seven unreleased films, telling stories that capture the unbreakable human spirit from Alaska to Bhutan. Exclusive YETI gear, raffles, and ambassador visits across three countries.

Anthropocene: The Human Epoch follows the research of the Anthropocene Working Group, an international body of scientists who argue that the Holocene Epoch gave way to the Anthropocene Epoch in the mid-twentieth century because of profound and lasting human changes to the Earth. From concrete seawalls in China that now cover 60% of the mainland coast, to the biggest terrestrial machines ever built in Germany, the film provides a provocative and unforgettable experience of our species’ breadth and impact. (Jennifer Baichwal, Nicholas de Pencier and Edward Burtynsky, 2018, 127 min.)

A Q&A with filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal will follow the screening.

In conjunction with UCSB Library’s UCSB Reads 2020 program, the Carsey-Wolf Center and UCSB Arts & Lectures Thematic Learning Initiative present the film screening of Anthropocene: The Human Epoch, followed by a moderated discussion.
