National Geographic Live Steve Winter at The Bushnell (Hartford)

October 25, 2018 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Join award-winning National Geographic photographer Steve Winter for a thrilling journey into the world of big cats on October 25 at the Maxwell M. & Ruth R. Belding Theater at The Bushnell in Hartford.

Run Time: 1 hour and 30 minutes, no intermission

From trekking high in India’s Himalaya in search of rare snow leopards and stalking the elusive jaguar through Latin American jungles to chronicling the nocturnal activities of the “American lion” or cougar, this determined explorer ventures far and wide to come face-to-face with his subjects. This is no easy task. Since many big cat species are in danger of extinction, they have good reason to avoid humans. While these felines may be endangered, they’re still wild, unpredictable creatures—and caution is required in their presence. Negotiating their habitats can be more dangerous still. Winter has been attacked by rhinos and gotten stuck in quicksand while working in the field. There have been lighter moments as well: mishaps with remote-control cameras, and waiting on a southern California hillside to catch a shot of a cougar under the famous “Hollywood” sign. Winter’s mission is to share the beauty of big cats while reinvigorating efforts to save them. Spend an evening daringly close to tigers, snow leopards, jaguars, and cougars—through the unforgettable stories and images of Steve Winter.
