Come partake of the breathtaking beauty of Alaska as the setting for an inspiring story of America's first environmental activist couple. This is the life story of Margaret 'Mardy' Murie, and her husband Olaus, who formed and led the Wilderness Society and fought for and won establishment of the Arctic Wildlife National Refuge. Through award winning filmmaker Bonnie Kreps' documentary, with interviews of Mardy Murie by Terry Tempest Williams, we enjoy the rugged exhilaration of wilderness travel in the early 1900s and are privileged to conversations about the personal joys and challenges of this extraordinary couple.
