My Father, Who Art in Nature (2012)
A father saving California land, often at the expense of his son and family
28 March 2012
Filmmaker Alden Olmsted documents the life and final days of his father, John Olmsted. It's a story of John's undeterred efforts, in the spirit of John Muir a century before him, to save lands and trails in Northern California - efforts which often took a great toll on his family and those dear to him. The testimonies of those who knew him paint a full picture of John's life, accomplishments and shortcomings. And John himself, in the late stages of cancer, shares openly about the lands he preserved, the trails he built, but also the relationships he often lost. There is both joy and sorrow, happiness and regret. I highly recommend My Father, Who Art in Nature.
