Division Street Screening at WILD9

“Division Street” Synopsis:

Roads are the largest human artifact on the planet; they have fragmented wild landscapes, ushered in the ‘age of urban sprawl,’ and challenged our bedrock sense of community.  But as the transportation crisis appears to be spiraling out of control, a new generation of ecologists, engineers, city-planners, and everyday citizens are transforming the future of the American road.  “Division Street” is at once a portrait of both ancient wilderness and new technologies as well as a call for connectivity, innovation, and solutions to shape the emerging green transportation movement.

Shot in stunning locations throughout North America including: Banff National Park, Glacier National Park, Yellowstone National Park, and the Everglades.

E.B., United States of America
