January 13th; Virtual Event
The Alliance’s 4th Annual Wild & Scenic Film Festival will take place virtually on January 13, 2022. As unpredictable as the past 1.5+ years have been, the Alliance’s Wild & Scenic Film Festival is sure to safely bring beautiful cinematography and inspiring stories to viewers across our diverse region. Since 2019, the Alliance has brought communities in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. together by hosting the Wild & Scenic Film Festival in all four states on the same night. In the peak of winter, the Film Festival provides warmth, inspires action, and raises hope. The Wild & Scenic Film Festival brings together incredible selections of films that inform, inspire, and ignite solutions and possibilities to restore the earth and human communities while creating a positive future for the next generation. Festival-goers can expect to see award-winning films about nature, community activism, adventure, conservation, water, energy and climate change, wildlife, environmental justice, agriculture, Native American and indigenous cultures. The Film Festival is a natural extension of the Alliance's mission to bring together communities, companies, and conservations to improve the lands and waters of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. After pivoting to a virtual Film Festival in 2021, we look forward to coming together virtually again in January 2022.

We also work with industry-led groups to help improve the health of Maryland’s waterways, which includes the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay in its watershed.

Once a year, we host a pop-up art exhibition in Annapolis, Maryland. We recruit professional artists to display art based on modern slavery. Human Trafficking is the ugly business of stealing souls for profit. We value human life and believe it is a gift. We are grateful to see the good changes happening in our world, yet the ugliness still lies at hand. Our movement wants to continue to fight against the corrupted souls in humanity today. We believe this can start with awareness.
