Kentucky Storm Resilience—Documentaries and Discussion
Join KY NSF EPSCoR for a film screening event titled Kentucky Storm Resilience—Documentaries and Discussion. It will feature two films. One is KY NSF EPSCoR's documentary, CLIMBS - Kentucky Climate Resilience - The Documentary. The other is All Is Not Lost, by the non-profit, Letcher County-based media group Appalshop. It underscores the unprecedented nature of the 2022 Eastern Kentucky flood and through in-depth community interviews, showcases Letcher County's efforts to recover and rebuild. The films will be followed by a panel discussion emceed by Shane Holinde of WKU and the KY Climate Center, a former TV meteorologist who covered the deadly tornadoes in 2021. Panelists include Rebekah Radtke (UK College of Design), Ryan Thigpen (UK EES & CLIMBS), Aaron Asbury (Film Director at AppalShop), and Trinity Adams (Graduate student at UK Appalachian Center). The free event is July 18, 9:15-noon, at UK’s Worsham Cinema in the Gatton Student Center.
We have two main goals: to raise awareness of the CLIMBS project, and facilitate cross-disciplinary collaboration among parties through the panel discussion and networking. This is an event to valorize Kentucky's resilience network.
