America's divorce from the outdoors - and possibilities for reconnection through a dialogue between science and religion - are explored in this music-rich documentary. The 1960s environmental movement inspired young scientists like E. O. Wilson, Cal DeWitt, and Theo Colborn, some of whom were raised within America's largest religious group: evangelicals.

Storyline 

America's divorce from the outdoors - and possibilities for reconnection through a dialogue between science and religion - are explored in this music-rich documentary. The 1960s environmental movement inspired young scientists like E. O. Wilson, Cal DeWitt, and Theo Colborn, some of whom were raised within America's largest religious group: evangelicals.

Today, a new generation of scientist/evangelicals includes Katharine Hayhoe, Ben Lowe, and Corina Newsome. Can they revive the reach and relevance of America's evangelical and environmental movements? Grammy-award winning musician Dirk Powell leads arrangements of traditional American tunes, along with Rhiannon Giddens and Tim Eriksen.
