The 2004 documentary “American Values, American Wilderness” will be screened Friday at the Sunflower Theatre. Following the film, writer and director Christopher Barns will hold a Q&A.

KSJD’s Tom Yoder sat down with Barns ahead of the screening. Barns spoke to the film's variety of perspectives on the Wilderness Act, how actor Christopher Reeve was involved in the film, and why the film is important 15 years after it was released.

See “American Values, American Wilderness” at the Sunflower Theatre in downtown Cortez at 7 p.m. Friday, July 12. Visit sunflowertheatre.org for tickets and more information.

Tom Yoder is the Executive Director at KSJD and the Sunflower Theatre. He co-produces the Raven Narratives live storytelling project and podcast, produced the podcast "Fieldwork: Misadventures at the Edge of Science", and often hosts interviews on KSJD.
