John Muir is most known for protecting land in the American west in the late 1800s to early 1900s. He founded the Sierra Club, was instrumental in convincing politicians to protect lands from further development and helped create the National Park Service. His writings were very inspiring and helped to change Americans’ views on wilderness and conservation. We aim to do the same with this film. Using his very own words from various works we weave together a story of John Muir’s adventurous life immigrating to America from Scotland as a boy and discovering the importance of spending time in the great outdoors. Through beautiful scenic shots of some of the places Muir spent time, and reenactments of John Muir himself we aim to continue to use his words to inspire citizens of our planet to care about nature, protect ecosystems, and provide shared wilderness access for all.
