This documentary follows three West Virginians—a blacksmith, a seamstress, and a hospital chaplain—as they creatively navigate hardship and call us to champion the pioneer within. Narrated by lyricist and musician Kaïa Kater, the film weaves verité moments with archival footage, poetic vignettes, and dream-like animation—as Tim Hibbs, Nellie Rose Gundersen Davis, and James Morley humbly answer their calls to pioneer a way forward.

Join us for a pre-screening social hour at the Jengo's Backyard Bar at 6:30pm and stay after the screening for a Q&A with the filmmaker and local community members!
This screening is brought to you by South Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, UNCW’s Kenan Auditorium Presents, Cucalorus Film Foundation, WHQR, and Working Films.
