We The Public – Saving Our Public Land: An American Story

More Than a Film

In a time when so much seems designed to divide us, public lands have the power to unite us under a common cause—to preserve these cherished spaces for us and for future generations.

840 million acres of public land — more than one-third of America — are threatened by deregulation and potential privatization.

This is the story of America—individuals from different walks of life, with different hopes and dreams, coming together for a shared purpose. United in this cause, they discover they have more in common than what divides them.

This film will serve as a clarion call, uniting these diverse voices to forge a new coalition committed to preserving, protecting, and defending our public lands.

Why it matters now:

Public lands face growing threats—from budget cuts and sell-off schemes to lawsuits aiming to privatize them. This film isn’t just a call to action. It's a unifier—bringing together hunters, hikers, Indigenous leaders, ranchers, scientists, and everyday citizens under the shared goal of protection and stewardship.

The approach:

We’re capturing unfiltered, heartfelt stories—each person seated on a stool in their favorite public place—sharing why these wild spaces matter to them. No rhetoric. Just real people, deep truth, and shared values.
