Bear Whisperer | 5 mins
Director Robert Gourley
Originally hired by the police department to exterminate bears that had overpopulated
Mammoth Lakes, California, Steve Searles instead decided to teach the bears to co-exist with the
towns residents. Nobody has ever been killed by a black bear, he explains. I know each bear
individually in Mammoth from the time theyre born until the time they die.
ADAPTATION: Kentucky | 12 mins
Director Alizé Carrère
If we cant beat em, eat em! is the slogan of Two Rivers Fisheries in Wickliffe,
Kentucky. Chinese-American entrepreneur Angie Yu exports wild-caught Asian carp, an invasive
species in the Mississippi River ecosystem, to 11 nations where carp is much-appreciated. She is
also working to instill a love for carp among Americans, despite its stigma as a trash fish.
Scientist and filmmaker Alizé Carrère celebrates the transformation of an aquatic invader into an
economic and culinary treasure, seeing it as a creative adaptation in an ever-changing world.
River Surfer | 3 mins
Director Karissa Akin
A wave in a river is a rapid that stays in one place, which means it can be surfed for a
very long time. For Gannet Horn, riding that singular wave is an obsession.
This Land | 14 mins
Directors Chelsea Jolly, Whit Hassett
Runner Faith Briggs represents the new school of conservationist. No longer
worshipping at the feet of Henry David Thoreau, conservationists today include women, people
of color and indigenous communities those whose love for public lands, diverse voices and
journeys of empowerment fuel bold feats of activism. Like running 150 miles through national
monuments at the center of controversial political maneuvering. Briggs, who once considered
conservation a privileged realm, now dons the mantle with pride as she redefines its very
definition.
Water Flows Together | 10 mins
Directors Matt Mikkelsen, Taylor Graham, Palmer Morse
A female Navajo river guide, Colleen Cooley, expresses her deep kinship with
indigenous lands and the San Juan River. This portrait of a strong woman is also a portrait of the
San Juan River, a timeless landscape and an ancient culture all of it at risk because the water is threatened.
Charge | 5 mins
Director Mike Douglas
In this film, we find out what happens when a bevy of rockstar skiers get together with a
world champion drone pilot in the snowy wilds of the Canadian Rockies.
