Visually stunning feature documentary Fools’ Paradise (lost?) is making its Washington premiere at the SIFF Film Center. Fools’ Paradise (lost?) is a love letter to our wild—our own inner wild, and the outer wild. It’s about how we heal ourselves through reconnection to the natural world, and the symbiotic necessity to heal what is left of our planet. Immersed in experiences recounted by writers, filmmakers, artists, environmentalists, adventurers, therapists, and political activists, this film delves into topics such as personal action, sustainable business and life practices, nature therapies and how we need and use nature to regenerate ourselves.

Screenings begin with a brief, grounding meditation and end with a Q&A with award-winning director Alexandra Lexton. Saturday screening is co-presented by Whitman College.
