Based on the premise — 'If I had one last lecture to give, what would I say?' — David Suzuki: The Legacy Lecture will present a critical and candid exploration of a period of human history which includes his own life's journey — an era which has overlapped and converged with many of the most important social, scientific, cultural and political developments of the past seventy years. His focus also acknowledges the wisdom of his grandparents and moves forward through to the promise held in the birth of his new grandson.
Dr. Suzuki's words on stage will be accompanied by a dramatic backdrop. As his intimate storytelling propels us to locations around the world, ever-changing and much-larger-than-life images will illustrate the inherent inter-connectedness of life on Earth.
The entire event will be filmed live to later play an integral part in a film chronicling pivotal moments over Dr. Suzuki's 73 years. The film is directed by Sturla Gunnarsson and produced by E1 and the National Film Board, in association with the CBC and Planet Green. The film is currently scheduled to be released in theatres in 2010 and broadcast on the CBC in 2011.
Tickets are limited for this special fundraising event in support of the David Suzuki Foundation.
