Ever wonder how John Muir, a Scottish immigrant, became America’s most famous naturalist and conservationist? One example points to the famous campout he had with President Theodore Roosevelt, during which he persuaded Roosevelt to return Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Grove to federal protection as a part of Yosemite National Park. It’s no wonder we like to use his quotes.

Best of Luck With the Wall

“What does the southern border of the United States actually look like?”

In his film Best of Luck With the Wall, director Josh Begley takes us on a journey across the entire US/Mexico border. It’s a simple premise — a continuous display of 200,000 satellite images of the border from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico — but one that delivers a powerful feeling of how large the world is and how meaningless borders are from a certain perspective.

“The moment we can go back, we will.”

Ibrahim Hami, a 56-year-old from Kobani, says he has more than 100 acres of land in Syria where he grew olives, sunflowers, and pistachios among other crops.

“It’s the first time in our lives that we live in tents like this,” he says. “We were sleeping on the ground until people gave us mattresses…. Syria was heaven for us. The moment we can go back, we will.”
