Film Screening: Power of the Paddle

In summer 2020, Chris Hopkinson embarked on an unprecedented journey to paddle the entire length of the Chesapeake Bay on a stand-up paddle board. The trip spanned nine days and over 200 miles, and raised enough money to plant 18 million new oysters in the Bay. On June 17, join Chris for a live screening of “Power of the Paddle,” a 26-minute documentary chronicling his voyage. After the film, Chris will share more details about his trek and how paddlers can help the Bay today. Live Q&A to follow. Part of the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center’s 60th anniversary webinar series. Film produced and directed by Katie Sheridan.

This event will be hosted entirely online.
