A Short Documentary by Mars Verrone
Description for Buckskin:
A filmmaker questions their grandfather, an academic forester and U.S. Forest Service member, about resisting, surviving, and protecting community while working within institutions that reject you.
All proceed for this screening will benefit the Ghassan Abu Sittah Children's Fund in Lebanon.
All proceeds will be donated to the Ghassan Abu Sittah Children's Fund providing medical aid to families from both Palestine and Lebanon.
This Fund is dedicated to the children of Gaza: providing medical attention to the children who need it the most and helping to relieve the medical sector in Gaza and Lebanon.
The first initiative for the Fund, under the expert guidance of Dr. Ghassan Abu Sittah, is the transportation of critically injured children with their caretakers from Palestine to Lebanon, where they can receive the best possible medical, psychological, and social care, before returning home to Palestine where they will continue their recovery.
