Jennifer D @jd2118 Sep 5, 2026 Movie was screened at a National Park event at the Colonial Theater. This film made me feel like I was experiencing the National Parks alongside the filmmaker - to appreciate its beauty and feel the stillness and peace. To see the parks through the eyes of rangers, men and women, children (the girl with the butterflies was precious). The film renewed my interest in the parks and made me want to find a way to support them for future generations. I felt lucky to come across the film because it makes a positive difference and brings light into a very dark world. See more LJB S @RT04503653 Jun 5, 2025 Very clever, beautiful and moving. We saw this at a sold-out screening at the Tower Theatre in Bend with a q&a with Brendan at the end. The music is fantastic, and the film at the national parks are amazing, plus the stories of people along the way are inspiring. And documenting the documentary process was a highlight. Highly recommend. See more Read all reviews
