We meet the men who have dedicated themselves as rangers\, risking everything to defend wildlife from poaching. We listen to Maasai lion guardians\, once lion hunters\, now protectors who honor their ancestral bond to the land by safeguarding both people and predators. And we are given a glimpse into the lives of Samburu women\, whose ancestral beadwork carries the stories of their identity\, faith\, and deep connection to nature. Together\, their testimonies become a call to protect the earth—a reminder that conservation is\, at its root\, not only about saving animals\, but about honoring the sacred connection between people\, land\, and all living beings.ADAPT | 6.2 minutes | by Jordan Drew | from: United States |  Short synopsis: After a lifetime of competing in high-level sports\, the path of Shelby Estocado took a dramatic turn following a snowboarding accident where she suffered a spinal cord injury in 2020. Now an adaptive skier\, High Fives Athlete & Sisters in Sports Athlete\, she uses sports as a way to regain independence and push past limits. Drawing on her background in traditional athletics\, Shelby channels her competitive drive into adaptive sports while also bringing awareness to the adaptive community.JAPAN TO JAMAICA | 12 minutes | by RC Cone | from: United States | Short synopsis: In his pursuit of unearthing little-heard Jamaican music\, Naoki ventured far from his home in Tokyo. A one-of-a-kind reggae researcher\, he took on a vital role of documenting rare music for the public. Naoki then discovered another icon of Jamaican culture: tarpon fishing. It uncovered a new connection with the island and transformed his experience of Jamaica.THE PROVING GROUND | 14.15 minutes | by Josh Bogardus\, Dan Dunn | from: United States | Short synopsis: Every ski season\, Mount Washington sees an average of 25 life-threatening sliding falls. The Proving Ground is a short film from Warden Co.\, produced in partnership with the Mt. Washington Avalanche Center Foundation\, exploring the dangers of recreating on the mountain that go beyond avalanche risk alone – told through the stories of those who have survived\, and those who tragically have not.A LIFE ALOFT | 12.8 minutes | by Clayton Simoncic | from: Maine | Short synopsis: A portrait of Paul Stumpf\, hot air balloon pilot and New England’s last balloon repairman\, reflecting on a life lived aloft within a close-knit community of balloon builders and pilots.NATIVE TO THE KLAMATH | 13.5 minutes | by Michael E Wier\, Ben Galland | from: United States | Short synopsis: “Native to the Klamath” is a story told through the voices of the salmon people. The Klamath River is currently going through one of the largest transformations in history. Native to the Klamath intertwines environmental restoration\, reconciliation ecology\, social justice\, and traditional ecological knowledge. Hear the story of this river renewal through the words of the Klamath River peoples who live by the sacred obligation of stewardship.WHERE THE WIND GOES | 7 minutes | by Everett Ravens | from: United States | Short synopsis: In the heart of New York City\, master model-sailboat designer Jon Elmaleh navigates the unpredictable winds of Central Park\, discovering how the same forces that move his boats also shape his life. Blending documentary intimacy with cinematic imagery\, Where the Wind Goes captures a uniquely New York story\, part character study\, part philosophical reflection\, about growth\, craft\, and adapting in an ever-changing world.LOBSTER QUEEN | 23.6 minutes | by Alix Buck | from: Canada | Short synopsis: They say women are bad luck on a boat. Captain Gail Atkinson never gave a damn. She’s spent the last 30 years proving everyone wrong—and taking chances on people nobody else would hire.But Gail’s convictions are put to the test as she faces the storm of the year and an emotional upheaval that shakes her to her core. As she grapples with identity\, loneliness\, and legacy\, Gail finds unexpected purpose providing others the very opportunities that she was once denied.

SUMMARY:"Living the Dreams: Sketches of My Life" with author Connie Scanlon
DESCRIPTION:Camden Public Library welcomes author Connie Scanlon for a talk about her memoir Living the Dreams: Sketches of my Life on Thursday\, August 20 at 6:30 PM in the Picker Room.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInspired by old handwritten letters found in the bookcase as a child and the sound of the freight train passing through Lincoln\, ME\, Connie Scanlon was determined to explore new possibilities. As life moved onward\, the adventures of traveling and her unquenchable desire to gain more insight into music\, cultures and people inspired her to have her backpack standby. Her experience as a teacher\, a performer\, a healer\, a businesswoman\, and spontaneous traveler reverberate throughout the pages of this book. Her destiny was Europe. \n\n\n\nConnie Scanlon grew up in South Lincoln\, Maine. She is a graduate of Mattanawcook Academy and entered Boston Conservatory at the age of seventeen where she received her Bachelor of Music\, piano. Her master’s degree she received from the New England Conservatory in 1974 and was a student of Katja Andy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAn endless search for the source of inspiration\, the lost chord\, the Holy Grail has colored her life with many unforgettable experiences. \n\n\n\nShe now permanently lives in The Netherlands with her partner\, Lia\, and enjoys the spirit of Maine streaming vigorously through her veins. \n\n\n\nSpirituality is normality\, humor is the twist\,Life; joy\, tears\, sorrow\, and laughter.  More on the list?Love is the basis\, begin with yourself\,Open your heart\, breathe the warmth\,Your smile\, unconditional wealth.
