FRI 4 OCTOBER Celebrating the 250th birthday of Alexander von Humboldt

 The Local Governing Body of Judith Kerr Primary School

celebrates the 250th birthday of Alexander von Humboldt

- the man who invented nature -

with a screening of “Humboldt: Epic Explorer”

and a talk with director Tilman Remme 

All the proceeds of the evening will be used to further expand German provision at Judith Kerr Primary School.

The film was shot in the jungles and mountains of Colombia and Ecuador and tells the story of the 'man who invented

nature' and who discovered human induced climate change in the early 1800s. It follows author and historian Andrea

Wulf as she re-traces Alexander von Humboldt's extraordinary journey of exploration.
