Nature & Outdoors
From intimate to expansive, these stories explore the interconnected lives of people and the natural world.
The Conscience Files
To some lovers of nature, the phrase 'You can't take it with you' is more than an expression about possessions and the afterlife, it's a cautionary reminder about what NOT to take in the present...and the consequences that follow when you do.
American River
This film follows three formerly incarcerated men finding freedom, connection, and themselves as they navigate a three-day whitewater rafting trip down the American River.
Voices from the Abyss
A collective portrait of La Quebrada Cliff Divers in Acapulco, Guerrero, who earn their living diving 100 feet into the sea from a dangerous cliff as part of a thrilling show, featuring an original poem recited by them and testimonies on faith, life, and death.
Anyone lived in a pretty how town
In a picturesque town, a man named "anyone" rejoices in the beauty of everyday life and celebrates the natural world. The people around him, however, are more focused on conforming to modern society, and ostracize anyone for being different.
Plant Life
"Plant Life" captures Dr. Joanne Chory at a pivotal moment: as her Parkinson's advances and carbon levels surge, she pursues her most audacious experiment yet. Having revolutionized plant biology once already, she and her team are re-engineering crops to draw down CO₂ at planetary scale—a scientific race against time that may determine both her legacy and our future.
Into the Dark
Darkness brings an artist into confrontation with everything he can't control.
