Born to be Wild - Educational Presentation, Movie and FREE Silly Bandz & Bookmarks

On Saturday April 9th, at 10:15 AM Patrick Kwan, New York State Director of The Humane Society of the United States will visit the IMAX Theatre at Palisades Center for an exclusive presentation for children before the movie Born to Be Wild! Mr. Kwan will speak about caring for the environment and how what we do impacts the lives of animals. The children will also be able to ask questions about animals, caring for their own pets and understanding the wildlife in our own environment. Throughout the opening weekend, children will receive free Born to Be Wild themed Silly Bandz and exclusive Born to be Wild 3D bookmarks.

Narrated by Academy-Award® winner Morgan Freeman, Born to be Wild 3D is an inspiring story of love, dedication and the remarkable bond between humans and animals.  This film documents orphaned orangutans and elephants and the extraordinary people who rescue and raise them—saving endangered species one life at a time.  Stunningly captured in IMAX 3D, Born to be Wild 3D is a heartwarming adventure transporting moviegoers into the lush rainforests of Borneo with world-renowned primatologist Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas, and across the rugged Kenyan savannah with celebrated elephant authority Dame Daphne M. Sheldrick, as they and their teams rescue, rehabilitate and return these incredible animals back to the wild.
