Back to All Events
The western United States is still a region of natural beauty—vast plains, snowcapped mountains, thundering rivers, fertile valleys and majestic wildlife. But it is also a place built on many bodies—the Native peoples who first inhabited the land; the Chinese and Irish who laid the railroads; herds of buffalo and packs of wolves, once nearly extinct. These presenters recognize the West for its contradictions and have each found a way to capture the romance of the big sky and the broken dreams that often lie in the contours.
