a life well-lived, and an acknowledgement of death as part of life. “A Will for the Woods” follows Dr. Clark Wang as he battles lymphoma while thoughtfully planning his funeral with his loved ones. Determined that
his last act should not harm the environment but rather help protect it, Clark discovers the green burial movement. At St. Columba’s Episcopal Church, 4201 Albemarle St. NW. Doors Open 7:00 PM, with food for sale by Zenful Bites, movie at 7:30. Free popcorn (while it lasts!)
