Urban Odyssey

Chronicling four seasons of unplugged, outdoor adventures in greater Boston, MA, via three inner city teens and three retirees, the film prompts electronics users to go outside. These 6 are driven by a shared belief that their 'green' activities could lead those of us who've lost touch with nature--back to the garden. Merging resources from two Audubon Centers, they develop a joint project that fosters a sense of place, strengthens relationships between individuals and communities, and builds bridges across the generations. They re-unite other urban dwellers with the vast array of outdoor opportunities in ones own neighborhood, solidifying the idea that when people spend time outside it can have a lasting, positive impact on their personal lives and the future of our natural heritage.
