A “film festival by activists for activists,” Wild & Scenic showcases stories that inspire environmental action and celebrate the beauty of our planet. Originally a five-day event in California, the festival travels the country. Last spring, the tour partnered with the River Alliance of Wisconsin for a stop at Madison’s Barrymore Theatre, and it will be back again this year.
