Connectivity Project
a documentary and short film series about the ripple effects of our actions in an interconnected world

Connectivity Project examines the idea of chaos theory and explores how our stories and actions can have a powerful ripple effect around the world.
How many times have you wondered, “Does what I do make a difference in the world?” Connectivity Project explores this ever-present question, in a visually stunning film and docuseries. Featuring interviews with tribal elders, noted scientists, and environmental activists, the series weaves connections between science, culture and spirituality.
Through speaker sessions and film discussions, we will unpack the butterfly effect metaphor and discover that even the smallest actions can have a large impact. How would we act if we saw the world differently?
TAKING ACTION
In nature’s grand design, the vital connection between honey bees, our food supply and human society is boundless. Our take action “Plants Have Wings” session will be devoted to discussing the steep challenges and practical ways we can support our local pollinators.
