Description
Join the Friends of Weir Farm National Historical Park and the Ridgefield Library on Saturday, April 25, 2026, at 2:00 pm for a special screening of the breathtaking documentary exploring the stories, history, and beauty of America’s national parks.
“Out There: A National Parks Story” is an award-winning feature documentary that follows two childhood friends taking a 10,000-mile road trip through the U.S. national parks, revealing a profound tapestry of stories from the people they meet along the way. The documentary is a heartfelt journey through the human stories, stewardship, and spirit of adventure that define America’s natural wonders.
Along the way, the two record stories of the people that work in the parks and those that come to enjoy them, as part of the rich tapestry of the history of the park system emerges. They hear profound stories of people from all ages, walks of life, and cultures that come to the parks seeking tranquility, healing, motivation, and connection to the natural world. Between spectacular visuals of the parks and compelling interviews are colorful bits of old maps, posters, and travelogues. This stunning road trip is a tribute to the national parks and their history and is also a recognition of the people that appreciate them and work to maintain their beauty.
Following the 75-minute screening there will be Q & A session with Film Director, Brendan Hall.
This program is made possible in part by the generous support of Friends of Weir Farm and the Ridgefield Library.
