These include a storyteller who practices ‘mythic maintenance’ on his favorite historical site\, a land-based artist creating work about the life of slate quarry workers\, former coal miners\, village elders\, political activists\, sheep farmers\, and practitioners of indigenous Celtic spirituality.  \n\n\n\nIn weaving these seemingly disparate elements together\, the film considers how both shared and personal identity are constructed through connection to the environment\, and how stories serve as a means of cultural resilience and a vehicle of collective memory. Ultimately\, it points toward the need for a more sustainable relationship with the land. Directed by local filmmaker Lauren E.M. Everett (People Like Us: The Cult of The Rocky Horror Picture Show).
