The Southern Appalachian Forest Coalition and Southwings are pleased to present the NC premiere of the PBS film Appalachia, a celebration of mountain people, culture and geography with proceeds benefiting our work to protect the Southern Appalachian mountains.

An all-star cast, including Pulitzer Prize-winning biologist E.O. Wilson and best-selling novelist Barbara Kingsolver, explore the intersection of natural history and human history in one of America’s grandest treasures.

The evening kicks off at 6PM with a reception for the filmmakers and special guests, followed by a 7:00 panel discussion and screening of the film. Admission to the reception and film is $50, while tickets for just the film screening are $25.
