Pad Yatra: A Green Odyssey - Omaha Film Festival

Pad Yatra: A Green Odyssey is the adventure of seven hundred courageous open-hearted souls trekking across the Himalayas to spread a call to action. Filmmaker Wendy Lee joined her sister on the historic walk. With 15,000 glaciers, the Himalayas has fallen victim to a barrage of freak weather disasters caused by rapid glacial melting as global temperatures rise. Battling the harshest mountain terrain on the planet, the trekkers move village to village to educate locals on environmental preservation and living responsibly. Surviving injuries, illness, and starvation, the trekkers emerge with 800 lbs of plastic waste collected on their backs, and memories to last several lifetimes, having ignited an environmental movement never before seen in the Himalayas. With stunning cinematography and sensitively narrated by actress and activist Daryl Hannah, Pad Yatra is an adventure you won't want to miss.
