STAY POSITIVE: The Run Across Indiana
Following his late father’s advice to “Stay Positive,” Michael Hartnagel runs 157 miles across Indiana just two days after his father’s death, honoring his fight with cancer. Blending powerful storytelling with raw, intimate footage, the documentary shows how perseverance can carry us through life’s hardest moments.
An Alternate Pond
A man takes his boat out on a pond. The ritual is familiar: the casting, the waiting, the stillness. But somewhere between the water's surface and the depths below, the present begins to blur into dream.
American Rodeo
"American Rodeo" dives into the high-stakes, bone-crushing world of bull riding, where fearless God-fearing cowboys risk life, limb, and legacy for eight seconds of glory.
Rock, Paper, Destiny
When her high school's future is on the line, a shy watergirl with a haunted past must train in secret to challenge an undefeated champion, and prove that Rock Paper Scissors isn't just a game, it's her destiny.
Finding A Way: Revitalizing Nature in America's Heartland
The Midwest has a rich natural heritage. Beautiful forests, sprawling prairies and clear and clean lakes and rivers. The vast human footprint across America's heartland has clashed with the natural heritage for several decades. Restoration of our most sensitive habitats is how humans can find a way to help biodiversity to persist within this working landscape.
On The Stream
Al White is an Indiana fly fisherman whose time on the river becomes a reflection on life. After a turbulent youth, Al finds peace in fly fishing and discovers that the water can be a place of healing.
Bloom
After failing to beat his own record for America's tallest sunflower, Ukrainian immigrant Alex Babich pushes for a Guinness World Record - all while balancing the needs of his family and the challenges of nature in Northeast Indiana.
