Saving Silence explores mental health and the importance of public lands by investigating the people and places surrounding the Boundary Waters Canoe Area of Northern Minnesota.

We follow professional photographer Emily Tidwell as she returns home to explore how nature saved her life while talking with local characters such as Arctic Explorer Lonnie Dupre and Sawbill Canoe Outfitters
owner Clare Shirley about why this area is essential to protect. Furthermore, Emily investigates, in collaboration with the Desert Research Institute of Reno, Nevada, the story of microplastics around the
world and questions, if we are finding them in the most remote places on the planet, how many exist in one of the most pristine wilderness areas in America? This majority female lead cast highlights the most significant act we can do as citizens: use our voices
and vote for change.
