Losing the West.

7:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 7, Muenzinger Auditorium, CU Boulder campus, 1801 Colorado Ave., Boulder, 303-449-5928.

This week the International Film Series is getting local with a screening of Losing the West. The documentary talks about the protection, or lack of thereof, for open space and agricultural lands. As the population and rate of development grow, ranchers and farmers struggle, which creates bigger problems for society. Director Alex Warren set out to show the effects through the story of Colorado cowboy Howard Linscott. The film raises questions about the future of crops, livestock and sustaining the ever-growing population. Warren will be there for a postscreening discussion along with Patty Limerick from the Center of the American West.
