Join Senator Harry Reid next week for a free virtual conversation celebrating the premiere of the new documentary “The New West and the Politics of the Environment.” The film explores how Senator Reid paved the way for what is dubbed a “lowercase green new deal” in the American West, using power in novel avenues to resolve water disputes with respect for Native Americans, protect wilderness and endangered species, and facilitate a just transition to renewable energy. The documentary was co-produced by KCET and the Laboratory for Environmental Narrative Strategies at University of California Los Angeles. The team anticipates publishing a book about Reid’s practical environmental politics, which offer a hopeful way forward for the nation.
The special virtual conversation with Senator Rein will take place on Tues., Sept. 22 from 4 – 5 p.m. PT, ahead of the airing of “The New West and the Politics of the Environment.” To register for this free event and get exclusive access to a preview, premiere screening of the documentary, please visit: TheNewWest.eventbrite.com.
“The New West and the Politics of the Environment” will premiere Tues. Sept. 29 on KCET and Wed., Sept. 30 on Link TV nationwide (DirecTV 375 and DISH Network 9410).
