Hike the Divide

Series: The Portland EcoFilm Festival

Self-described “jaded millennial” Connor DeVane treks 2,700 miles from Canada to Mexico on the CDT as he seeks hope in the face of climate breakdown. A physical journey through environments both harsh and breathtakingly beautiful, this film shares the stories of the community activists and problem solvers working on a spectrum of approaches to climate action, including grassroots community organizing, land regeneration to store CO2 in soil, non-violent civil disobedience, and more. Connor's journey intersects with a host of diverse and powerful voices united in not only picking us up off the floor, but also to shoving us out the door to build a better future.

Directed by Connor DeVane. Filmmaker in attendance.

Screening with:
