A 6,000 Mile Search for Beauty

Inspired by the beauty and haunting geological history of a petrified forest, Eileen Delehanty Pearkes embarks on a journey across the West, in an effort to understand the ecological and cultural value of today’s temperate rainforests. What can these forests and the indigenous people who have long inhabited them teach us about responding constructively to climate change?

Filmmaker Amy Allcock captures the essence of Eileen’s next book with this evocative film.
