GALAPAGOS 3D Documentary

We will be showing the first 3D documentary about the Galápagos Islands in order to promote conservation on the islands. It is a British documentary filmed in 3D technology by Atlantic Productions and narrated by the famous presenter and naturalist, Sir David Attenborough, in the Galápagos Islands.

The showing of the documentary is part of the joint global effort between the British and German governments to raise awareness about environmental conservation. There will also be a raffle where cruises and tours of the Galápagos Islands will be given as prizes, with all proceeds going to the preservation of the ‘pinzón de manglar’ (mangrove finch), via a project implemented by the Charles Darwin Foundation and the Galápagos Conservation Trust.

Date: Tuesday, 9th September at 19h00 (the showing will begin at 19h30) Location: Cinemark – Plaza de las Américas, Avenue República and Naciones Unidas
