Wild Hope - Cancelled

This event has been cancelled

While this is likely not surprising news, DMPA will not present a traditional National Geographic Live Series in the 2020-21 season as most speakers simply will not be touring for the foreseeable future.

We will issue an automatic refund for your 2020-21 National Geographic Live Series season tickets in the form of your original payment for that transaction. No action is needed on your part. We will begin processing these refunds on Tuesday, August 25, 2020 (please allow up to 30 days for this to occur). 

AMI VITALE
Photographer

Photographer and filmmaker Ami Vitale shares her personal odyssey—from documenting the heartbreaking realities of war to witnessing the inspiring power of an individual to make a difference. Ami’s work has taken her to more than 100 countries. She’s lived in mud huts and war zones, contracted malaria, and donned a panda suit—all in keeping with her philosophy of “living the story.”

Early in her career, she documented the worst conflicts unfolding across the planet–from the war in Kosovo to the abiding conflict between India and Pakistan over the disputed region of Kashmir. More recently, she has turned her lens to wildlife stories, exploring the increasingly complex relationships between humans, wildlife, and this abundant but fragile planet we call home. Her coverage of Kenya’s first indigenous-owned and run elephant sanctuary earned her World Press Photo recognition in 2018. The October 2019 cover story of National Geographic featured Ami’s tender image of Sudan, the last male northern white rhino, and the heroic efforts of the local people to save a species. And in China, she was given unprecedented access to document the efforts to breed pandas and release them back into the wild.

Join her as she shares the incredible images and adventures that have transformed her into a celebrated global storyteller, photographer, and filmmaker.
