"Butterfly Town USA" is a documentary that follows a community in Pacific Grove, California in which citizens are working together to protect their Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary. Internal disagreements about how to best take care of this beautiful habitat are escalating at a time when climate change, deforestation, and pesticides are decimating the Monarch population worldwide.
The film includes the world-renowned Ecologist and Entomology Professor, Lincoln Brower, discussing the demise of the Monarch Butterfly population due to Global Warming, Mexico's ongoing destruction of the Monarchs' overwintering habitats, and America's rampant use of pesticides and genetically engineered crops. The film's inclusion in the festival would bring awareness of the declining Monarch Butterfly populations and would inspire more people to grow organic gardens that include the butterflies' source of food, drought-tolerant and native Milkweed.
