Presented by Milwaukee Film, the Urban Ecology Center, and the Wisconsin Humanities Council.

In Milwaukee the Urban Ecology Center and Milwaukee Film teamed up to present the Making It Home film festival. The weekend began with a public talk by best-selling author Bill McKibben, followed by a discussion about his latest book, Eaarth.

The Making It Home project brings people together from many walks of life. How would you describe the diversity in your community?

Milwaukee is an incredibly diverse city that benefits from its various cultures, ethnicities, religions and walks of life. As the densest area of Wisconsin, Milwaukee forms a melting pot that encourages different groups of people to work together. By holding the Making it Home events at the Urban Ecology Center we're reinforcing the importance of diversity in our community, because the Center is located at the intersection of very different neighborhoods and economic groups.
