Monarch Ultra Film Screening
A powerful documentary following a 4,300 km relay run tracing the migration path of monarch butterflies from Peterborough, Ontario, to Central Mexico. Driven by concern for the decline of pollinators, forty-six ultra runners each covered 50โ100 km legs, their determination reflecting the monarchs’ epic journey.
The film explores:
๐ฟ The environmental impact on pollinator populations
๐ The mental and physical endurance of ultra running
๐ค Community efforts to protect vital ecosystems
Presented in partnership with Pollinate Collingwood and the Collingwood Public Library, this moving documentary highlights the connection between human endurance and environmental activism โ an inspiring reminder of the collective strength needed to safeguard natureโs smallest travellers.
