Heart of a Lion – Film Screening + Q&A
Heart of a Lion is a feature-length documentary that follows biologist Mark Elbroch on a sweeping journey from the rugged wilderness of Jackson, Wyoming, to the misty forests of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. At the center of the story are two mountain lion mothers, F61 and Yoko, whose lives Elbroch has tracked for years. As his connection with these elusive cats deepens, the film reveals an intimate and rarely seen portrait of one of North America’s most misunderstood predators. Heart of a Lion explores not only the ecological role of mountain lions but also the emotional intelligence and resilience that define their lives in the wild.
Following the screening, stay for remarks and a live Q&A with the filmmaker.
This screening of Heart of a Lion is presented in partnership with the National Museum of Wildlife Art, whose mission is to impart knowledge and generate wonder through art and education.
