Join WVWA for a special, one-night screening of Su Rynard’s beautiful and contemplative documentary THE MESSENGER. The film takes viewers from the northern reaches of the Boreal Forest to the base of Mount Ararat and the urban streets of New York to tell the story of the mass depletion of songbirds on multiple continents, and of those who are working to turn the tide.
