giRl get a doula:
A Documentary on Systems Change
​TUESDAY, April 14th, 6 - 9pm​
​
​
An inspiring documentary screening and community gathering that explores how a doula-desert community addressed the urgent need for culturally responsive maternal care—and transformed their neighborhood in the process. This event centers trust, community care, and systems change through storytelling.
The film highlights the power of doula support in improving birth outcomes, strengthening advocacy, and building sustainable systems of care for Black families. Through lived experience and collective action, GIRL GET A DOULA demonstrates how community-led solutions can shift maternal health systems toward equity.
Why This Film Matters
Black families continue to face barriers to accessing doula care, especially in doula-desert communities. Doulas provide culturally responsive, continuous support that improves birth outcomes, reduces stress, and increases confidence during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care. This screening amplifies the importance of trust-based care, workforce sustainability, and community investment in Black maternal health.

Rehydrating the Land to Cool Our City
An Opportunity to Unite Spokane's Environmental Community
What if the answer to Spokane's heat and drought resilience has been under our feet all along?
Across our city, passionate people are doing extraordinary environmental work — and yet many of us feel that our efforts, though meaningful, aren't moving the needle fast enough on our biggest challenges. What if the missing piece isn't more effort, but a shared new focus?
Emerging science reveals that healthy, water-retaining soil is one of nature's most powerful cooling systems — and that rehydrating our land can meaningfully reduce heat, revitalize ecosystems, and build lasting resilience for our city and region. This is the news we need to hear.
​
The award-winning documentary REGENERATING LIFE presents the newest science on soil, water, and climate in a way that is both artful and deeply compelling. It reveals how rainfall is central to nature's cooling system — and how the health of our soil determines whether that system works. This is not abstract theory. It is actionable information, local, and urgently relevant to everything you are already doing.
Meet the Expert: Didi Pershouse
You will have the rare opportunity to hear from Didi Pershouse — a world-renowned soil and health researcher and one of the film's featured speakers. Didi Pershouse is well known as an innovative international educator both in-person and online. She is the founder of the Land and Leadership Initiative. Her facilitator's guide Understanding Soil Health and Watershed Function, is used in over 60 countries. Didi will join us live to share her insights, respond to audience questions, and help translate the science into practical steps you and our city can take together.
Why This Moment Matters for Spokane
This isn't just a film screening. It's the beginning of a city-wide conversation. Following the film and Q&A, attendees will gather in small groups to explore how to actively cool Spokane, rehydrate our land, and revitalize our soil — together. We believe this evening will spark new collaborations, new projects, and a shared commitment that will serve our community for generations.
Your involvement brings Spokane's environmental leaders into the same room, aligned around a powerful and actionable vision.
That is rare. That is powerful. And it starts here.
Let's grow something extraordinary together.
A Soil Smart, Soil Wise Event
Revealing to humans the agency we have to help LIFE thrive here on Earth by revitalizing the cities we already live in.

Oscar Winner! Best Documentary Feature!
Pavel "Pasha" (33) is a teacher and event organizer at a small primary school in a Russian town with a population of 10,000. In ordinary times, he is a beloved mentor, prankster, and nonconformist, known for hanging up democracy posters and offering a safe haven in his office for students who feel out of place. However, after the 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, Pasha took on the role of an international whistleblower, exposing the devastating effects of Russia's aggressive militarization within its own schools. Haunted by his painful years as a student at the same school, Pasha remains a lighthearted and mischievous presence on campus. Yet his mission as a teacher is challenged when a new patriotic education policy is introduced during the early weeks of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Pasha is shocked to learn that his responsibilities now include facilitating daily state-sanctioned propaganda events. To cope with his guilt and feelings of powerlessness, he decides to document how the war is transforming his school. Under the guise of his actual role as the school's videographer, he records hundreds of hours of footage inside classrooms and on school grounds. What emerges is the story of an institution abruptly transformed: propaganda, repressive new laws, militarized children's organizations, and the eventual recruitment of graduating students to fight in Ukraine. Pasha reaches his emotional breaking point as he films farewell parties for cherished students being sent to the frontlines in Ukraine. As the body bags return, Pasha and the rest of the school community grapple with the twin traumas of violence and repression. When Pasha learns his own life may be in danger, he is forced to plan a daring escape from Russia.
