The Great Outdoors

Adventure often begins with a leap into the great unknown. Lisa’s trip to the Grand Canyon becomes the beginning of a new chapter; Martha recalls a trip to Yellowstone National Park where her mom comes toe-to-toe with a bear; and Jynelle takes a tumble during summer camp - and finds strength in the woman who taught her how to rise. Three storytellers, three interpretations of THE GREAT OUTDOORS.
