Urban Odyssey (2011)

Chronicling four seasons of unplugged, outdoor adventures in greater Boston, MA, via three inner city teens and three retirees, the film prompts electronics users to go outside. These 6 are driven by a shared belief that their 'green' activities could lead those of us who've lost touch with nature--back to the garden. Merging resources from two Audubon Centers, they develop a joint project that fosters a sense of place, strengthens relationships between individuals and communities, and builds bridges across the generations. They re-unite other urban dwellers with the vast array of outdoor opportunities in ones own neighborhood, solidifying the idea that when people spend time outside it can have a lasting, positive impact on their personal lives and the future of our natural heritage.
