AZPM Event
AZPM was proud to host a special community screening of Giants Rising, an epic documentary exploring the wonder of redwood forests and humanity’s evolving relationship with these ancient giants. The film invited audiences to journey into the science behind the trees’ remarkable ability to withstand fire, capture carbon, and offer clues about resilience and well-being in a changing climate. Following the screening, attendees enjoyed an engaging discussion with Dr. Kevin Anchukaitis, Director of the University of Arizona’s Tree-Ring Laboratory, and Dr. Michael Barker, Associate Department Head in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, who shared expert insights and answered audience questions. The evening brought together community members, nature lovers, and lifelong learners for a thought-provoking experience that celebrated the power of public media to spark curiosity, conversation, and connection around the natural world.
