Birmingham Public Libraries Receive New Southern Exposure Documentaries

Birmingham, AL – The Alabama Rivers Alliance and Black Warrior Riverkeeper have made an exciting contribution to the city’s public libraries by donating copies of the acclaimed
Southern Exposure, an award-winning documentary series. All 18 locations of the Birmingham Public Library (BPL) now house this valuable collection, aimed at highlighting Alabama’s stunning natural resources and the pressing environmental issues that affect our communities.

Southern Exposure is not just a set of films; it’s a film fellowship program that gathers various filmmakers who share genuine stories about Alabama’s environment and the people who nurture and protect it. This initiative strives to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of Alabama’s unique landscapes, ecosystems, and the vital challenges facing them.

Continued Collaboration for Community Enrichment

In a statement regarding the donation, representatives from the Alabama Rivers Alliance expressed their enthusiasm for collaborating with Black Warrior Riverkeeper for this initiative. “We’re thrilled to partner with Black Warrior Riverkeeper once again to ensure the 2023 Southern Exposure films are accessible for free across Birmingham and beyond,” they noted. The ongoing partnership with BPL has significantly assisted in spreading inspiring stories and raising awareness about critical local environmental issues.

Each of the BPL’s 18 libraries now features a DVD of the current 2023 edition of Southern Exposure. Moreover, previous editions of the series are also available for borrowing in all library branches, thanks to past donations from the two organizations. This makes it easier than ever for residents to engage with local environmental stories and learn about the importance of preserving Alabama’s natural beauty.

Upcoming Events Shine Light on Alabama’s Natural Heritage

Mark your calendars! On Friday, September 27, The Altamont School will host the World Premiere of the 2024 Southern Exposure films. This free event promises to be a celebration of creativity and environmental awareness, featuring the talented filmmakers, individuals showcased in the films, and representatives from the Alabama Rivers Alliance, along with numerous partner organizations from across the state.

The premiere will provide an opportunity for attendees to interact with the filmmakers and learn more about the stories behind the films. It will also serve as a platform for discussing the impacts of environmental advocacy and conservation efforts in Alabama.

This initiative not only enriches the library’s offerings but also serves as a reminder of the community’s vital role in preserving the Black Warrior River watershed and surrounding areas. It highlights the ongoing dedication of local organizations and citizens who are actively trying to protect and celebrate Alabama’s rivers and outdoor spaces.

A Call to the Community

Birmingham residents are encouraged to take advantage of these new resources at the public libraries. Watching the Southern Exposure films is a fantastic way to understand and appreciate the local environment while also supporting efforts that aim to address significant ecological issues. Community members are invited to check out the DVDs and consider attending the upcoming premiere to further engage with these important narratives.

In a time where environmental awareness is critical, Alabama’s storytelling through film proves to be a powerful medium. Be part of the conversation and discovery by exploring what Southern Exposure has to offer at your local BPL branch.
