Join us for a special screening of Hanna Ranch, a feature documentary depicting the personal struggle of Kirk Hanna, a visionary rancher in Colorado and leader in the environmental ranching movement who set out to protect the West from the relentless threat of development and misuse.

The film will be followed by a Q+A with Karl Kister, one of Executive Producers of the film.

 

 

 

 

 

Featured in the book Fast Food Nation and dubbed the "eco-cowboy," Kirk Hanna was an early adopter of Holistic Resource Management practices, sat on numerous environmental boards and was president of the Colorado Cattleman's Association. Hanna's opinion was so widely sought and respected, many even saw him as a future governor of Colorado. But when his dream of harmony and sustainability ran up against the reality of family conflict and mounting threats to the land, Hanna lost hope.

Kirk's legacy and fight live on as his family and friends continue to protect the West by saving Hanna Ranch.
