SUMMARY:Documentary Night - WILD INSIDE
DESCRIPTION:The 2026-2027 Marine Documentary Night season kicks off with the 2026 Documentary WILD INSIDE. A Eurasian Eagle-Owl named Flaco escapes from the Central Park Zoo and sets off on a magical odyssey through the island of Manhattan. Flaco overcomes his years of captivity and lack of survival skills to answer the call of the wild – and discovers he was wild inside all along. \nThe remarkable story of Flaco raises some questions: is it right to keep a bird in a cage? Is there any real distinction between “zoo animals” and “wild animals”? How can we be better to our nonhuman neighbors? \nThis one-of-a-kind owl’s epic song is sung in WILD INSIDE by a chorus of besotted New Yorkers – young and old\, bird-nerds and civilians\, many of them immigrants themselves – all of them reaching for a glimpse of the wild\, a glimmer of magic\, or even just someone to believe in. Everywhere Flaco goes\, he leaves that place and its people forever enchanted. \nWILD INSIDE is directed by Penny Lane\, director of a previous Marine Documentary Night screener\, NUTS. \nWatch the trailer here. \n  \nDate and Time: Thursday\, October 1st at 7:00 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.\nLocation: Marine Village Hall\, 121 Judd Street in Marine on St. Croix\nFree! All are welcome. \nThe Marine Documentary Series is produced by the Marine Film Society in collaboration with the Marine Library Association.
