Buffalo: An American Restoration

Significant progress has been made in the restoration of bison across the American Great Plains. This reintroduction is not only contributing to the resurgence of bison populations but also fostering a revitalization of Native American culture across the country. Scientists and Native communities are collaborating closely to restore the bison, enhancing both ecological health and the cultural traditions that have long been tied to this iconic species. Buffalo: An American Restoration takes viewers on a story through time from the 1800s to modern day to show a unique perspective of how the Bison has shaped American history and our way of life.

The Migration Web

With the introduction of a spider from East Asia, the American people are frantically trying to figure out what to make of its arrival. For the spider, it is just trying to build a new future for itself and live the American dream. The Migration Web offers a unique and thought-provoking analogy by exploring the migration of a spider species to America, paralleling human efforts to build new futures and pursue the American dream. The film raises important questions about how humanity views immigration and migration by examining the ecological consequences of invasive species and their impact on native ones.
