Stories That Serve Us - From the trail to the world

What if a hike could change the way you see the world?

Stories That Serve Us is a short documentary film following Amanda as she journeys through trails and community spaces to meet people whose work, art, and voices can teach the world something meaningful. From cultural collectives to educators and artists, each encounter traces what community means and how people connect, create, and care for one another. Rooted in landscapes and the communities that shape them, the film lingers on moments of connection and quiet insight, inviting audiences into an experience that feels as thoughtful as it is human.

Screening followed by a short Q&A with the creator. Open captions provided for accessibility.
