Scientist Arthur Middleton, photographer Joe Riis, artist James Prosek and filmmaker Jenny Nichols join forces to capture the migration of elk in the Yellowstone area through a multidisciplinary lens.

For many of the elk herds that summer in Yellowstone National Park, home is outside the protected park boundaries the rest of the year. This modern band of explorers join their ungulate counterparts on a trek from Wyoming’s rangeland through snowy mountain passes and treacherous river crossings to the rugged beauty of Yellowstone’s high-alpine meadows.

Directors: Jenny Nichols, Joe Riis
