Outreach Updates
The Life in the Land films & podcasts were produced to elevate voices, inform, & spark deeper dialogue around community-guided and holistic approaches.
Films (or clips thereof) can be utilized to prompt deeper dialogue in community groups, organizations, or classrooms (ask about our free Lesson Plans). Content can also introduce folks to some of the social & environmental dynamics in Montana and the West, or be shared with policymakers, your funders, and members of your community.
We are a grassroots entity, so we do what we can with what we have, in terms of outreach.
If you know an entity that would like to screen a film for free in a public setting, send them our way!
"The films themselves create a celebration for people who have been in on these efforts for many years, to see their stories reflected in a clear, compelling narrative. Expanding the outreach, screenings, and workshops is important for advancing the work that is featured as well as inspiring this approach elsewhere. Everywhere, we are hearing the drumbeat of people needing to tell their story. This is a really authentic answer to that call. It inspires others to think, 'I'd like to create a story like that in my community', where we can pull people together and create a community guided response to our own challenges."
