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.
Railroaded explores the impact of allowing big business to dictate recovery priorities after a natural disaster. Is shareholder value the only metric to be considered when rebuilding, even on public lands?
This 25-minute film follows a whitewater community, struggling to survive, after Hurricane Helene upended their century long coexistence with a multi-billion-dollar railroad company. Anchored by strong, independent characters, the film unfolds along an idyllic stretch of the Nolichucky River where livelihoods and ecosystems are at risk. Railroaded explores the collision of economic reality, environmental stewardship, and regulatory oversight, and what happens when those tasked with protecting public land are forced to confront corporate power.
