Understory: A Journey Through the Tongass

Margarida Cardoso/2021/40 min/Conservation, Wildlife, Health

FILM DESCRIPTION: Understory follows three women who set sail on a 350 mile expedition through Alaska’s massive Tongass National Forest. With individual connections to the rainforest, their goal is to explore how clearcut logging in this coastal rainforest could affect local communities and our planet’s climate while taking audiences on a journey through the beautiful, wild Tongass.

Here We Stand

Chris Cresci/2020/10 min/Environmental & Social Justice, Conservation, People & Cultures

FILM DESCRIPTION: Join Teresa Baker and a group of diverse outdoor leaders as they become the first members of the public to explore Harold Richardson Redwoods Reserve, a massive, newly discovered, old growth redwood grove recently protected by Save The Redwoods League. #EveryoneOutside is focused on creating a more inclusive and culturally diverse outdoor community by elevating the profiles, work, and stories of marginalized athletes, leaders, organizations, and affinity groups, as well as empowering minority members of our community by increasing access to essential outdoor skills and activities.

The feature films are preceded by the 7-minute film Sealing the Leak by Callie Deng, an Honorable Mention and Official Selection from the One Earth Young Filmmakers Contest.
