About this Event

A new documentary about the life and legacy of J.N. “Ding” Darling, created by Executive Producer Samuel Koltinsky

Marking the 150th anniversary of Jay Norwood “Ding” Darling’s birth, Finding America’s Darling offers a vivid, contemporary portrait of the celebrated conservationist, political cartoonist and civic leader whose influence extended across the nation and beyond.

The documentary is the culmination of 16 years of research and advocacy by Executive Producer Samuel Koltinsky, working alongside creative teams and collaborative partners to illuminate the many dimensions of Darling’s extraordinary life. Through compelling history and a fresh perspective, the film explores his visionary leadership and enduring contributions to conservation, art and American civic life.

At its heart, Finding America’s Darling reveals the connections among Darling’s passions, principles and achievements—and celebrates the curiosity and youthful spirit of “the man who never forgot he once was a boy.”
