Urban Odyssey

“Urban Odyssey captures the common humanity of diverse people connecting with each other in shared reunion with nature.”

                            – Dr. Robert Kinscherff
Clinical and Forensic Psychologist, Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology

Urban Odyssey follows an unlikely coalition of urban teen and suburban retirees who team up and connect with nature…and each other.

Through vivid examples of school yard recycling initiatives, homeless shelter gardens, and senior center bird watchers, emerges a group credo:  Get outside into the garden or park or even further afield, break out of your comfort zone and engage your senses.

Run time: 46 minutes
