The Trail & District Arts Council presents The Art of Adventure at Monday Cinema on Monday, November 16 at 4 pm at The Royal Theatre in Trail.
In 1957, renowned wildlife artist Robert Bateman and spirited biologist Bristol Foster set out on a global expedition in a rugged, custom Land Rover they call “The Grizzly Torque.”
Starting in the UK, their travels took them across the earth from the lush rainforests of the Congo to the vibrant landscapes of India. As they journeyed, Bob painted the wonders they encountered, while Bristol filmed everything on his 16mm Bolex camera.
This exploration of lifelong friendship is a heartwarming and visually stunning reminder of the need for environmental stewardship.
Fifty-seven years later, the abandoned Grizzly Torque is rediscovered and its hidden history emerges as a new owner restores it to its former glory. As the Grizzly is renewed the tale of Foster and Bateman’s environmental activism through art and science unfolds even as they are in their nineties.
