On Thursday, June 5, Patagonia will present free screenings of the award-winning, feature length documentary DamNation, in 23 cities nationwide.

DAMNATION
I had the extreme pleasure of watching DamNation last night at the Patagonia offices in Ventura, CA. (The film was introduced by Yvon, an added bonus.) It officially premieres at SxSW next week, so if you're down in Austin, rush on over to see it.Above is a photo of Katie Lee, one of the best parts about the film.
