Living sustainably is nearly impossible for most people living in industrialized market economies. In fact, the more people rely on the so-called conveniences of consumer culture, the more they lose their connection to the natural environment and the imperatives of maintaining ecological biodiversity.

Brad will present selections of his most recent work that documents the many traditionally sustainable pastoral families in Mongolia that are being forced to leave this lifestyle behind due to the privatization of land, the detrimental impacts of open pit mining, and the effects of the changing climate on the environment and social structures.

His goal in making the documentary is to inspire his audiences to renew their relationships with the natural world and consider how every choice they make will impact the environment for future generations.
