What Happens When Black Men Are Given Space to Breathe?
Boyz N The Wood: Resilience in the Redwoods, directed by Faith Briggs Rose, follows a group of Black men stepping into the redwoods to reconnect with themselves, with each other, and something deeper.
While in nature, these men are given space to breathe, to be seen, and to show up fully without judgment. Through brotherhood, reflection, breathwork, and shared time outdoors, they are able to slow down, be present, and show up as they are. In the stillness of the forest, moments of joy, vulnerability, and connection unfold naturally.
This film is about remembering what has always been true: nature has always been home — a place to gather, heal, breathe, and a place of belonging. When Black men are supported, that care reaches far beyond the individual. Healing moves through families, friendships, and communities.

What if every kid had access to outdoor adventures?
Marcus & Me, directed by Dom and Nadia Gill, follows Big Marcus and Little Marcus as they build confidence and community through climbing in the heart of Pittsburgh.
As part of the Outdoor Inclusion Coalition climbing program, the film demonstrates that beyond deep wilderness, outdoor recreation can be enjoyed in our own neighborhoods, nearby city parks, and surprising spaces throughout the city., While Big Marcus shares his passion for climbing and finding space outdoors with Little Marcus. The two create a pathway to playfulness, belonging, and new possibilities close to home.
Together, they show how representation and access can shape the way young people see themselves and the world around them.
