Oregon Parks Forever is excited to present this exclusive Earth Day virtual screening of the award-winning documentary Out There: A National Parks Story.
Out There takes viewers on an inspiring journey through our nation’s most treasured landscapes, sharing the voices of those who protect and preserve them for future generations. Want a sneak peek? Watch the trailer here.
This special virtual event begins at 7 PM PT with the film screening and concludes with remarks and a Q&A with the film’s director, Brendan Hall.
In the centennial year of the U.S. National Park Service, a young filmmaker and his childhood friend set off on a 10,000-mile journey through America’s national parks, leaving home with little more than a camera and a desire to understand what connects people to these wild places. What begins as a summer road trip becomes a seven-year odyssey, capturing untold stories of those who protect, visit, and find healing in the parks.
Through intimate interviews, breathtaking cinematography, and a profound original music score, Out There uncovers a deeply human portrait of the parks - revealing them as places of reflection, resilience, and connection across generations and cultures. A stunning visual tribute and grassroots love letter, this story reimagines what it means to find belonging in the natural world, and the power of public lands to bring us back to ourselves.
