In the first months of COVID pandemic, in the midst of the global shutdown, Josh Fox, who is suffering from neurological symptoms and cognitive damage from long COVID, isolates himself in a one room cabin in the hopes that his beloved Pennsylvania forest can heal him. During his nine month seclusion, he confronts the legacy of genocide and intergenerational trauma that scars the land and his family. His co-stars are a tenacious group of beavers, a young bear mother, howling coyotes, and a ton of invasive honey-suckle. Nature may just teach us how to heal ourselves, and the lessons of the Anthropause may just save the world.
