In the documentary, a young filmmaker and his childhood friend set off on a 10,000-mile road trip through the U.S. national parks, leaving home with little more than a camera and a desire to understand what connects people to these wild places. What begins as a summer road trip becomes a transformative journey, capturing untold stories of those who protect, visit, and find healing in the parks. Through intimate interviews, breathtaking cinematography, and a profound original music score, Out There uncovers a deeply human portrait of the parks - revealing them as places of reflection, resilience, and connection across generations and cultures. A stunning tribute and grassroots love letter, Out There reimagines what it means to find belonging in the natural world, and the power of public lands to bring us back to ourselves.
We look forward to sharing this ode to the natural world with you as we reflect on our role in protecting these parks for future generations.
