Peak Design, in partnership with Wild Confluence Films, is proud to present the limited release of Understory: A documentary film that explores the degradation of Alaska’s Tongass National Forest. Told through the lens of three women with unique personal connections to the Tongass, Understory advances the case that saving ancient forests is critical to both the resilience of humans and the future of our planet’s climate.
Understory will premiere on Youtube, Thursday, February 26, at 6pm PT and will be immediately followed by a prerecorded panel moderated by Annie Nyborg with the film’s lead character Elsa Sebastian, Audubon Alaska’s Executive Director Dr. Natlie Dawson, and professional ski mountaineer Caroline Gleich. The film will be made publicly available for viewing on the Youtube platform until midnight Sunday, February 28, at which point the film will be screened at film festivals throughout the country.
