“The concept of conservation is a far truer sign of civilization than that spoilation of a continent which we once confused with progress.”

“Wildlife in America”, 1959

More Than a Film

In a time when so much seems designed to divide us, public lands have the power to unite us under a common cause—to preserve these cherished spaces for us and for future generations.

840 million acres of public land — more than one-third of America — are threatened by deregulation, and potential privatization.

This is the story of America—individuals from different walks of life, with different hopes and dreams, coming together for a shared purpose. United in this cause, they discover they have more in common than what divides them.

This film will serve as a clarion call, uniting these diverse voices to forge a new coalition committed to preserving, protecting, and defending our public lands.
