“For anyone concerned about environmental loss, the destruction of wetlands and other natural habitats around the world, this gentle, uplifting film is an inspiration.”
Nancy Turner – Author and Professor Emeritus of Environmental Studies
University of Victoria
This award-winning documentary film by Ted Timreck explores the culturally significant wetland at the base of Mount Lebanon, detailing its rare medicinal plants and deep history with Indigenous peoples, the Shakers, and the Tildens. The story of the Shaker Swamp—and the broader lost history of natural medicines in America—is important to save for future generations, when it can be better understood in the wake of the contemporary upsurge of interest in evolving, natural remedies.
We hope you will join us for this gentle, poignant film that will inspire us to elevate our care and activism for the future of our planet.
We give great thanks to our season sponsor, Rockland Trust, and to our venue host, Lowell National Historical Park.
