This collection of short films offers visual commentary on the (changing) nature of land in connection to society. Observations begin in the polar bear capital of the world, then wade into a submerged forest on unceded territory. We plunge further on into the surreal world of microscopic plankton, only to resurface in a Cajun town staring into the mouth of a spillway. We shift from water to desert, attending to the sociopolitical landscape of the Western Sahara, before finally turning skywards, where urban renewal in one community occurs on a galactic scale.
