Can we protect our landscapes and communities from ourselves? This mix of five fiction and unscripted shorts explores our relationship with nature and how we can (if we can) preserve the planet for future generations. Learn about photosynthesis, the pigs who got away, the migration patterns of sandhill cranes, and the impact industrialization can have on our ecosystem.

Following the film we will have an extended Q&A with attending filmmakers and representatives of ACRES Land Trust, an organization dedicated to protecting land in northeast Indiana and portions of southern Michigan and northwest Ohio.

A documentary film about Al White, an Indiana flyfisherman whose journey to the river becomes a reflection on life. Al’s transition from a turbulent youth to finding peace in fly fishing is both deeply personal and universally human. He finds that the water can be a place of healing, that community can come from unexpected places, and how important it is to encourage others to find their own way to have peace in a chaotic world.
