Nat Talks, made possible with support from presenting sponsor The Downing Family Foundation and media partner KPBS, feature museum staff and outside experts speaking on an array of topics, including the latest in scientific research, history, conservation, and the natural world.
Join us for an unforgettable evening at the Museum as part of Nat at Night, featuring an advance screening of The American Southwest followed by Q&A with Producer Ryan Olinger and the Northern Jaguar Project.
Coming to theaters September 5, The American Southwest is a family-friendly wildlife movie that takes viewers on an unforgettable journey down the mighty Colorado River, which runs from the Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of California. Narrated by Quannah Chasinghorse, the film beautifully showcases the region’s abundant wildlife, confronts the ecological impacts of dams and water overuse, and advocates for better management of the river.
Made in association with Natives Outdoors, the movie incorporates an indigenous storyline and is told through the perspective of some of the Southwest’s most charming characters… such as industrious beavers, bugling bull elk, and soaring condors. Between its legendary landscapes and fascinating wildlife, The American Southwest aims to endear millions of people to better cherish, love, and conserve this unique region.

Tickets to this advance screening are $23 for non-members, $12 for members, and include admission to the full Museum for Nat at Night. Doors open at 5 PM. Theater doors open at 6:30 PM.
