Indianapolis, IN

Join WFYI Live on Sunday, August 11 at 2 p.m. at Kan-Kan Cinema for a family-friendly screening of SciGirls and Across Indiana. This event will include a viewing of SciGirls’ Dragonfly Detectives and Across Indiana’s recent short about React’s production of Dreamland.

In Dragonfly Detectives, the SciGirls visit the sandy shores of Lake Michigan. Logan, Luci and Saloni investigate how dragonflies help park scientists monitor water quality at the Indiana Dunes National Park. Across Indiana’s Dreamland episode explores how the kids of today will bear the weight of our climate's future, but have we ever really stopped to get their point of view on the matter? Dreamland is a post-apocalyptic dreamscape of a play devised and performed by teenagers who are suffering from an 'Eco-Anxiety' that asks why their generation should care if adults don't seem to.
