A free showing of “Out There: A National Parks Story” will be held on Sunday, March 8 at 2 p.m. in Cherry Rose Hall at 115 South Smith Street in Cuba, Missouri.

The 75-minute documentary will be followed by guest speakers and discussion. Jody Eberle, retired from the National Forest Service, will speak on public lands and Bill O'Donnell, retired from the National Park Service, will speak on Ozark National Scenic Riverways. 

In the centennial year of the U.S. National Park Service, a young filmmaker and his childhood friend set off on a 10,000-mile journey through America’s national parks, leaving home with little more than a camera and a desire to understand what connects people to these wild places. What begins as a summer road trip becomes a seven-year odyssey, capturing untold stories of those who protect, visit, and find healing in the parks.

Through intimate interviews, breathtaking cinematography, and a profound original music score, "Out There" uncovers a deeply human portrait of the parks - revealing them as places of reflection, resilience, and connection across generations and cultures.

A stunning visual tribute and grassroots love letter, "Out There" reimagines what it means to find belonging in the natural world, and the power of public lands to bring us back to ourselves.

Popcorn, tea and water provided.
