As part of its new monthly movie series, The Found Theatre will present the Long Beach/Orange County premiere of Queen of the Sun: What Are the Bees Telling Us? From Taggart Siegel, director of The Real Dirt on Farmer John, comes this multiple-award-winning documentary about the global bee crisis, featuring stunning cinematography and visual artistry.
Taking viewers on a journey through the catastrophic disappearance of bees and the mysterious world of the beehive, this engaging and ultimately uplifting film weaves an unusual and dramatic story of the struggles of beekeepers, scientists and philosophers from around the world, including Michael Pollan, Gunther Hauk and Vandana Shiva. Together, they reveal both the problems and the solutions in renewing a culture in balance with nature.
The Found Theatre, 599 Long Beach Blvd., will screen Queen of the Sun Friday, June 17 and Saturday, June 18 at 8pm, and on Sunday, June 19 at 3pm. Tickets are $8.
