Join the Free WIlly-Keiko Foundation for a special screening at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood, CA. After giving an astonishing performance in Free Willy in July 1993, it was quite a jolt when fans of Keiko discovered that, unlike his fictional counterpart, he was not free. This is the amazing story of what actually happened with Keiko. The film takes the viewer on Keiko’s journey, explores his strong will to survive, and enjoys his enormous embrace of his own freedom. Through first hand accounts by those who were there every day, the film follows Keiko, his life, his legacy, and the untold story of his extraordinary years of ‘freedom’ in Iceland and Norway where he thrived before his death in 2003.

The Brower Youth Awards recognizes six young people in North America annually for their outstanding activism and achievements in the fields of environmental and environmental justice advocacy. The winners of the award receive a $3,000 cash prize, a trip to California for the award ceremony and wilderness camping trip, and ongoing access to resources and opportunities to further their work at Earth Island Institute.

At the same time, we rely on physical spaces to facilitate connection and meaning — whether through a game of basketball at the YMCA, a visit to a village market, or a movement such as Occupy. What role do face-to face relationships play in today’s society, and how can we become closer in a world that privileges communication at a distance? Join The David Brower Center for a festive wine reception celebrating the opening of Almost Together, and mingle with the many talented artists represented in the exhibit.
