Screening of "Out There: A National Parks Story" at Patagonia Santa Monica

Join us for a special free screening of the award-winning feature documentary Out There: A National Parks Story. Filmmaker Brendan Hall will join alongside a live musical performance from composer Elizabeth P.W., with a post-film discussion featuring local environmental advocates.

After a sweeping film festival run and screenings with organizations across the country, we are thrilled to bring this film to the Los Angeles area for the very first time. For more information on the documentary, you can view its trailer and website here.

In the documentary, a young filmmaker sets out on a 10,000-mile exploration of the national parks with his childhood friend during the centennial year of the formation of the National Park Service. Along the way, they share experiences 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 from people of all ages and walks of life who have come to the parks seeking tranquility, healing, motivation, and connection to the natural world. This stunning road trip film is a tribute to the national parks and their history, and is also a recognition of the people that appreciate them and work to preserve their beauty.

Out There has toured film festivals across the country to sold-out audiences, winning a number of awards and headlining screening events including the National Parks Friends Alliance, Public Lands Alliance, the Explorers Club, and Pixar Animation Studios.

We look forward to sharing this ode to the natural world with you as we reflect on our role in protecting these parks for future generations.
