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.
