//The KEEN + Wild & Scenic Live Monumental Film Tour// is a collaborative effort to bring the best films about the places we love and play to communities around the country. Each stop will feature one hour of engaging and inspiring short films, ending with Live Monumental.

THE FILMS:

Nine weeks and 7,500 miles of canyons, petroglyphs, starry nights and breakdowns – KEEN Footwear’s 1976 Live Monumental RV embarks on a classic American road trip to protect the places we play. Teddy Roosevelt is the guiding star urging citizens and a gridlocked political system to create lasting change through the creation of five new national monuments. As the RV heads home, the Live Monumental movement continues driving immense support from a passionate public responding to Teddy’s message: “It is not what we have that will make us a great nation; it is the way in which we use it."

//Rowing a dory in the Grand Canyon is considered by some as the most coveted job in the world. It can take 20 years of paying your dues to earn a seat on one of these legendary wooden boats. Amber Shannon has been boating the Grand Canyon nine years, trying to work her way from the baggage boat to a dory, while spending as many days possible in current.//

The massive size and location of the mines–at the headwaters of major salmon rivers that flow across the border into Alaska–has Alaskans concerned over pollution risks posed to their multi-billion dollar fishing and tourism industries.//

//A campfire discussion on improving the diversity of both the visitation and the employment within our parks and wild spaces happened last May in Yosemite National Park. A gathering of extraordinary people from non-profit agencies, land management bureaus and those involved in the movement to encourage more people of color to visit and seek careers in the outdoors brings light to important issues facing today’s conservation movement and outdoor recreation.//

//Josh Ewing began visiting the Bears Ears region of southeastern Utah to climb at Indian Creek and explore the local archaeology. But when he moved to the town of Bluff, he saw degradation from oil drilling, looting, and careless visitors. Ewing knew simply loving a place was no longer enough.//

//As a father and son rediscover their connection through a journey down the Colorado River and in the Grand Canyon, this poignant short teaches us that although we may sometimes go astray —stuck in eddies and in life — the path back to the important places is never too far away.//

“The Wild & Scenic Film Festival is the largest film festival of its kind in the United States. Whether depicting the struggle for environmental justice or an educational tale about an endangered species, the films expose people to forward-thinking ideas and global awareness. We want the Wild and Scenic Film Festival to be as big as success for other communities as it has been for our own and in doing so inspire a sense of activism which the festival promotes.”

Ask President Obama to designate five new national monuments.

We’re uniquely poised to encourage our President to protect more than 3 million acres of our public land by designating Boulder-White Clouds, Gold Butte, Mojave Trails, Birthplace of Rivers and Owyhee Canyonlands as national monuments.
