Presented with Nebraska Wildlife Rehab, Inc. this one-time screening of RACING EXTINCTION was followed by a discussion with Lincoln-based nature photographer and Photo Ark founder Joel Sartore, who appears briefly in the film, and Dr. Jeremy White, Instructor of Biology at University of Nebraska at Omaha. Watch the full discussion!

In this globe-trotting documentary, Oscar-winning director Louie Psihoyos (THE COVE) assembles a team of artists and activists on an undercover operation to expose the hidden world of endangered species and the race to protect them against mass extinction. Spanning the globe to infiltrate the world’s most dangerous black markets and using high tech tactics to document the link between carbon emissions and species extinction, RACING EXTINCTION reveals stunning, never-before seen images that truly change the way we see the world.

Joel Sartore has produced more than 30 stories from around the world as a freelance photographer for NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC magazine. Dr. Jeremy White’s research focuses on white-nose syndrome associated with North American bats as well as the behavior, ecology, and natural history of mammals.
