Description

The Anthropologist unveils the parallel stories of two women: Margaret Mead, who popularized cultural anthropology in America; and Susie Crate, an environmental anthropologist currently studying the impact of climate change.

 

Uniquely revealed from their daughters’ perspectives, Mead and Crate demonstrate a fascination with how societies are forced to negotiate the disruption of their traditional ways of life, whether through encounters with the outside world or the unprecedented change wrought by melting permafrost, receding glaciers and rising tides.

 

Filmed over the course of five years, THE ANTHROPOLOGIST is a meditation on change, both individual and societal. Susie and her daughter, Katie, work with people in Siberia, the South Pacific, the Andes and the nearby Chesapeake Bay, who struggle to reconfigure how and where they live.  THE ANTHROPOLOGIST won the Best Environmental Film in the Nevada International Film Festival.  81 Minutes

Guest Speaker for "Q and A" following the screening:  Director, Daniel A Miller
