Saving Silence

Saving Silence

In the heart of Northern Minnesota lies a place that inspired the powerful film Saving Silence. Join POW Creative Alliance Captain, Emily Tidwell as she returns to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, reflecting on how this wild landscape saved her life. ‘Saving Silence’ dives deep into mental health, the critical importance of public lands, and the unsettling presence of microplastics in some of the world’s most remote places. Emily reconnects with Arctic explorer Lonnie Dupre and Clare Shirley, owner of Sawbill Canoe Outfitters, to discuss why protecting this pristine wilderness is more crucial than ever.
