From backyard hummingbirds to groundbreaking laboratory science, these films reflect on both the consequences of our history and the diversity of ways we are finding the path forward. The block features intimate portraits of citizen scientists, conservationists, and indigenous communities, highlighting their efforts to understand, protect, and coexist with nature in various environments.

Set in the remote village of Yakutat, Alaska, “With the Tide'' follows the youth of the Tlingit tribe as they further explore their relationship to the ocean, themselves, and the expanse of isolated wilderness they call home. Over the span of four years, this story documents the exploration of how surfing can increase health, wellness and value for nature in a community that is constantly facing layers of adversity and the challenges of geographic isolation.
