CLEVELAND (March 7, 2023) – Take a cross-country adventure into the hidden wonders of the natural world when “Into America’s Wild” opens in the Cleveland Clinic DOME Theater at Great Lakes Science Center on March 24.
Academy Award winning actor Morgan Freeman narrates this visually stunning cinematic giant screen experience spotlighting America’s national treasures and the joy of time spent in the wild.
A celebration of the transformational allure of nature and wild places, “Into America’s Wild” is a non-stop ride via kayak, bike, train, hot air balloon, zipline, kite surfboard and more into some of the most beautiful but little-known landscapes of North America. From the wilds of Alaska and the lush coastline of Oregon to the ancient canyons of the Southwest and the rolling hills of the Appalachian Trail, “Into America’s Wild” is wall-to-wall with natural treasures and the joy that comes from spending time in nature.
Guiding this journey are three trailblazers – Native American astronaut John Herrington, Alaskan pilot and youth advocate Ariel Tweto, and record-breaking long-distance hiker Jennifer Pharr Davis – who share a passion for connecting people to experiences in the wild. As they wind their way through the scenic byways, ancient homelands, secret gems and hidden trails of America, viewers will discover the special human connections we all share with the natural world.
Directed by Academy Award nominee Greg MacGillivray, “Into America’s Wild” is a MacGillivray Freeman film produced in association with Brand USA. The film is presented by Expedia and United Airlines.
