Impact Events Highlight: Patagonia’s Public Trust Virtual Panel Series

In the summer of 2020, we kicked off our impact campaign for Patagonia’s feature length documentary Public Trust with three virtual panel events in advance of the film’s September premiere on Youtube. 1,800 activists attended these events and 98% of those surveyed indicated that the event they attended helped them expand their understanding of the movement to protect public lands.

Public Trust explores the fight to protect our vast system of U.S. public lands, and each event addressed this complex issue through the different perspectives of experts and activists fighting the fight on the ground. You can watch all three events here, and read more about them below!
