Behold the Earth

Behold the Earth is a featurelength musical documentary film that inquires into Americas divorce from nature, built out of conversations with leading biologists and evangelical Christians, and directed by David Conover.

Once upon a time, we lived in close proximity to what biologist E. O. Wilson and many others refer to as the Creation or, alternatively, as the natural world.

A rich bounty of birds, mammals, plants, fish, and insects invited curious minds to observe, organize, and understand what life is. The open landscape inspired dreams of what our own lives, and those of our descendants, could be.Today, many Americans share unease about our relationship to the natural world. Our children, and we, seem to spend less time outside and more time with indoor virtual amusements. We look about and within our own daytoday activities and feel distress about the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the accelerating pace required just to get by.

This film takes a different tack. ........
