The Beaver Believers

The Beaver Believers is a feature documentary that tells the urgent yet
whimsical story of an unlikely cadre of activists - a biologist, a
hydrologist, a botanist, an ecologist, a psychologist, and a hairdresser
- who share a common vision: restoring the North American Beaver, the
most industrious, ingenious, bucktoothed little engineer, to the
watersheds of the American West. The Beaver Believers encourage us to
embrace a new paradigm for managing our western lands, one that seeks to
partner with the natural world rather than overpower it. As a keystone
species, beaver enrich their ecosystems, creating the biodiversity,
complexity, and resiliency our watersheds need to absorb the impacts of
climate change. Beavers can show us the way and do much of the work for
us, if only we can find the humility to trust the restorative power of
nature and our own ability to play a positive role within it. Shot in 8
western states, Mexico, and Canada, through desert drought, raging wild
fires, forceful floods, and wetland tranquility, this film will change
the way you think about climate change and inspire you to take a bite
out of the challenges we face, one stick at a time.
