[lena luna]

*Sunday, October 21st will be the next monthly community documentary
screening in the Old Cobargo Butter Factory at 3.30pm*




*A WILL FOR THE WOODSDirected by Amy Browne, Jeremy Kaplan, Tony Hale, and
Brian Wilson**"A film about a life of purpose and a death with meaning"*

What if our last act could be a gift to the planet? Musician, psychiatrist,
and folk dancer Clark Wang prepares for his own green burial in this
immersive documentary.

While battling lymphoma, Clark has discovered a burgeoning movement that
uses burial to conserve and restore natural areas, forgoing contemporary
funeral practices that operate at the ecosystem’s expense. Boldly facing
his mortality, Clark and his partner Jane have become passionate about
green burial, compelled by both the environmental benefits and the idea
that one can remain within the cycle of life, rather than being cut off
from it. The spirited pair have inspired a compassionate local cemeterian,
and together they aim to use green burial to save a North Carolina woods
from
being clear-cut.

Making the most of the time that he has, Clark finds joy in his music and
dance, connection with his friends and family, and great comfort in the
knowledge that his death, whenever it happens, will be a force for
regeneration. The film follows Clark’s dream of leaving a loving, permanent
legacy, and environmentalism takes on a deeply human intimacy.

Documenting one community's role in the genesis of a revolutionary
movement, A Will for the Woods draws the viewer into a life-affirming
portrait of people embracing their connection to each other and to timeless
natural cycles.
