A visceral invitation to consider one’s own (dis)connection with nature, while providing many paths forward into how human societies can best find their place in this natural world.

Fools’ Paradise (lost?), directed by Alexandra Lexton
Motivated by her sudden acquisition of an organic apple farm, filmmaker Alexandra Lexton begins searching for stories of others who have reconnected with nature and brought those experiences into the world in an impactful, meaningful way.
Fools’ Paradise (lost?) finds Lexton eliciting wisdom from 10 such individuals, including a globetrotting photographer, a journalist, a Navajo scholar, an ecotherapist, famed “planetwalker” Dr. John Francis, and experts in mindfulness and climate change. Immersed in their experiences, Fools’ Paradise (lost?) delves into topics such as personal action, sustainable business and life practices, nature therapies and how we need and use nature to regenerate ourselves.
