A special segment of the Sunset Cinema Series at the QuikSilverEdition Mission.

Come chill with Global Inheritance and QuikSilverEdition as we present The Bigger Picture, our summer film screening series. Each screening will target a different issue and be hosted by members of the film's creative team.


Thank you to everyone that turned out to see our screening of the highly acclaimed film Who Killed The Electric Car?, which featured a Q&A session with director Chris Paine, as well as our screening of Plagues and Pleasures on the Salton Sea, the award-winning film from directors Chris Metzler and Jeff Springer.

If you missed out, its not to late to come chill with Global Inheritance at the QuikSilverEdition Mission this summer for a screening of Disarm, an independent documentary film that presents a contemporary and provocative view of the forces challenging the achievement of a landmine-free world. Looking beyond mines, Disarm offers an intelligent and critical investigation into how weapons systems, war, and the way war is waged are being redefined in the twenty-first century with devastating consequences. The film soundtrack is scored by the likes of Thievery Corporation, Mum and Steven Drozd of The Flaming Lips. Join us for this screening, which will be followed by a discussion led by directors Mary Wareham and Brian Liu. Please RSVP at: biggerpicture@globalinheritance.org

We have two more screenings to come, including Sierra Leone's Refugee All-Stars on August 30th, as well as a new addition: The 11th Hour on August 10th. Hosted by directors Zach Niles and Banker White, Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars chronicles the story of six Sierra Leonean musicians who came together to form a band while living in a refugee camp in Guinea. Despite the unimaginable horrors of civil war, they were saved and brought hope and happiness to their fellow refugees through their music. As violent conflicts multiply around the globe and the worldwide refugee crisis deepens, Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars is a humanizing ode to all the innocent survivors of war whose brutal realities are often dismissed by surface mass media sound bytes. Information on both screenings to come soon!
