Description

Join Patagonia and the American Alpine Club at the American Mountaineering Center in Golden for a screening of Scale of Hope on Saturday, September 10th! The scale of climate change can make an individual feel hopelessly small, and Molly Kawahata knows this feeling well. As a former climate advisor to the Obama White House and an alpine climber with dreams of big summits, Molly has dedicated her life to taking on seemingly insurmountable challenges. But it’s her personal struggle with mental health that gives her a profound understanding of how to harness the power of the mind to create change. The Scale of Hope follows Molly as she prepares for an expedition in the Alaska Range while working to create a new climate narrative that centers her favorite question—What can I do to help?—with a surprising answer. It’s a story about struggle, hope and what it will take to solve the greatest issue of our time.
