Join us for a screening of the comedic-nature documentary, Where the Butterflies Go, followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Fraser Jones! The film follows Fraser in his fumbling attempt to host his own children's nature show as he travels 3,000 miles from Canada to Mexico, asking North Americans how to save the endangered monarch butterfly, and ourselves, from extinction.Â
