Synopsis: In Our Nature explores how environmental education - and the people who teach with it - can help heal some of our most pressing social, emotional, and political divides. Through stories of resilience and reconnection, the film reveals why nature belongs at the heart of what it means to be truly educated.
Accolades
“I'm not one for docs, but this one really had me moved. I cried, and I laughed. I connected with the people deeply. Anyone can find someone to connect with and a way to connect to this story. In a time of division, this film finds a way to get to the heart of something that resonates with all of us.” - Patrick-94688 IMDB Reviewer
