Just a Drop Annual Talk 2019
25 April 2019, 7:30pm
Just a Drop will host For the Love of Nature with Huw Cordey and Patrick Morris, the award-winning filmmakers behind the ground-breaking BBC series Life, Planet Earth, Galapagos and The Hunt, on 25 April at the Royal Geographical Society.
For the Love of Nature will see Huw and Patrick share the stories that have inspired them across their thirty years of wildlife filmmaking, including the making of upcoming Netflix series Our Planet, narrated by David Attenborough and due for release in April. The talk will be followed by an audience Q&A led by Stephen Sackur, presenter of BBC’s HARDTalk and Just a Drop Patron.
Just a Drop is an international development charity working to bring sustainable safe water, sanitation and hygiene projects to communities around the world, transforming lives. All proceeds from the evening will go towards Just a Drop’s projects.
For the Love of Nature sees the welcome return of Just a Drop Ambassadors Huw and Patrick for the charity’s annual Royal Geographical Society talk, following the success of 2018’s Secret Lives Exposed: If Walls Could Talk; 2017’s Danger, Deadlines & Frontlines: a Glimpse into the Lives of Foreign Correspondents; and Huw and Patrick’s 2016 talk, Life Behind the Lens.
Patrick Morris, wildlife film producer and director, said: ‘For the Love of Nature is a great opportunity for us to share some of our personal stories about the wildlife, people and the environment that have truly inspired us over the past thirty years of natural history filmmaking all over our planet. What we’ve learned, the incredible people we’ve met, those wildlife ‘never seen before’ moments and the highs and lows we’ve experienced while following those dreams. We are especially pleased to be supporting Just a Drop given that water is such a precious resource to all life on Earth.’
Fiona Jeffery OBE, Chairman and Founder of Just a Drop said, ‘I’m thrilled to welcome back Just a Drop Ambassadors Huw and Patrick after the success of their 2016 Just a Drop talk, Life Behind the Lens. Huw and Patrick really understand how essential water is to life on this planet, and I look forward to a gripping evening as they share their wildlife filmmaking stories! Funds raised from the talk will support Just a Drop to continue our life transforming work with safe water and sanitation.’
Just a Drop has reached over 1.5 million people across 32 countries with safe water and sanitation since its beginnings in 1998. www.justadrop.org
