FILM DESCRIPTION: Understory follows three women who set sail on a 350 mile expedition through Alaska’s massive Tongass National Forest. With individual connections to the rainforest, their goal is to explore how clearcut logging in this coastal rainforest could affect local communities and our planet’s climate while taking audiences on a journey through the beautiful, wild Tongass.
The feature film will be preceded by the 7-minute film Sealing the Leak by Callie Deng, an Honorable Mention and Official Selection from the One Earth Young Filmmakers Contest.
