Getting Kids to the Monarch Movie

$389 donated
Given by 7 generous donors in 25 days

Help us get NZ children to see this amazing movie about the spectacular monarch migration before this natural wonder is lost forever.

Nationwide

The monarch butterflies' annual migration to Mexico to overwinter - thousands of kilometres - is one of the wonders of the world. This film from SK Films in Canada tells the story of a single monarch's journey and also the journey of the entomologist who discovered their hideaway. The film will awaken children's curiosity and inspire wonder. Children will learn about nature and geography, history and climate change and environmental risks plus so much more... Teachers are excited at this opportunity for New Zealand children, but to get schools there we will need to subsidise the costs.

Moths and Butterflies of New Zealand Trust's involvement (page creator)

The MBNZT has brought the 3D movie 'FLIGHT OF THE BUTTERFLIES' to New Zealand, knowing how New Zealanders love monarch butterflies (and caterpillars, etc) and learn so much from them. Schools all over the country have heard about and want to see this movie but the cinema complexes think it's not commercially viable and so costs are higher than a blockbuster. We're hoping for your help to get schools there. Every $10 donation will make it possible for another child to see the film for just $5.
