This land is your land. This land is my land... No. Wait. Hold on...


In a time of growing inequality in America, there is one asset that remains in the hands of the American people: the 640 million acres of America's Public Lands. Given its status as the last large-scale public asset on the planet, powerful forces have aligned to attempt the largest land grab in modern history, to rob Americans of this unique birthright, and make modern day vassals of the American people. Featuring award-winning outdoor and western journalist, Hal Herring.


Directed by CBFF alumni David Garrett Byars (NO MAN’S LAND, 2017) and produced by Crested Butte resident, Jeremy Rubingh.
