The film follows director Brendan Hall and a childhood friend on a journey that began as a summer road trip and grew into a seven-year, 10,000-mile odyssey across America’s national parks. With breathtaking cinematography, intimate interviews, and an original score by composer Elizabeth P.W., "Out There" reveals the parks as more than landscapes — they are places of reflection, resilience, and connection across generations and cultures. 

This special Tucson event is more than a screening: it’s an immersive evening that celebrates the enduring power of America’s public lands.
