Two Beautiful Films of Hope
The Whinnies! at Napa Nov 8 and 12
Out of the sadness and worry of these days -- for our Sonoma and Napa County families, friends, colleagues and neighbors, our wild herds, fellow man and tender planet -- arise these two missives of hope and stories of deep regard for our equine friends. For the October weeks when humans and animals were fighting for lives, livelihood and property, the Napa Valley Film Festival team debated the right thing to do. Because film brings us together as a community, they have decided the show will go on! Thus next week two fine films -- "Don't Shoot the Zebra Pony" and "Taming Wild" -- will screen together at two fabulous locations: at Farmstead in St. Helena on Wednesday, November 8 at 8 pm, and at the Uptown Theatre in Napa on Sunday, November 12 at 10 am. Following the films, The Whinnies! curator Kimberly Carlisle -- will explore more of what's possible in the horse/human partnership with the amazing women who made them. For the films' trailers, ticket information and theater locations visit thewhinnies.org. Hope to see you at the movies!
