For The Wild’s Film Competing At SXSW + Release New Podcast Episode Feat. adrienne maree brown

For The Wild’s Original Film When Old Growth Ends

Selected To Compete At SXSW Film Festival

Release New Podcast Episode Featuring adrienne maree brown,
Author of Best Selling Book Emergent Strategy
Main Picture: Tongass National Forest, Southeast Alaska

The Tongass National Forest is the world’s largest remaining temperate old growth rainforest, home to some of last healthy salmon runs on Earth. In 2016, after interviewing EarthJustice’s lead attorney, Tom Waldo, about the destruction of these precious forest ecosystems, Ayana Young felt called to take a stand for the Tongass. Assuming the ambitious role of a first time film director, producer and editor, Ayana led an all woman crew to Southeast Alaska to produce For The Wild’s first film, When Old Growth Ends. Emotional and heart wrenching, the film is a love story through the eyes of the salmon, the old-growth trees, the indigenous peoples who call the Tongass home, and a group of women with a passion for protecting wild places. The film will be premiering on Sunday, March 11th, at the annual Films for the Forest Competition at South By Southwest (SXSW). The film will also be featured at additional festivals throughout the year.

“In a world gone upside down, learning that Ayana is publishing again is light in a dark world.”
