The REES Theatre, in partnership with the Marshall County Soil & Water Conservation District, is inviting the community to experience a thought-provoking summer of cinema with the launch of the "Incredible Indiana! Summer Film Series."
Running from May through July, the series will feature free documentary screenings on the third Thursday of each month at 7:30 p.m. The films have been carefully selected to highlight conservation, sustainability, and the natural beauty of the region and beyond, offering stories that connect audiences to the land, local history, and the future.
What sets this series apart is the interactive experience it offers. Following each screening, attendees will have the rare opportunity to participate in a live Q&A session with the film's producer. This allows the audience to dive deeper into the stories, ask questions firsthand, and engage in meaningful community conversations.
The 2026 summer lineup includes:
- Thursday, May 21 Everglades of the North. The Story of the Grand Kankakee Marsh.
- Thursday, June 18 Kiss the Ground. Discover how regenerative agriculture and soil health can help restore ecosystems and combat climate change.
- Thursday, July 16 Common Ground. A powerful follow-up documentary exploring real stories of farmers and advocates working to transform our food systems and rebuild the land.
Admission to all films in the "Incredible Indiana!" series is completely free. However, because seating is limited, attendees are highly encouraged to reserve their tickets in advance through Eventbrite.
Whether you are passionate about conservation or simply looking for an educational and meaningful night out, The REES Theatre promises an inspiring summer series that goes beyond traditional entertainment.
