n
the summer of 1967, three brothers leave their home in Ft. Smith,
Arkansas, and embark on an adventure that will last a lifetime.
Confronting nature in the wild, the three brothers learn to trust and depend on
each other and discover their calling -- to photograph America's wildlife in its unspoiled
settings. "Wild America" is inspired by the true story of the adventurous Stouffer
brothers, whose own documentary series of the same name has revealed the mystery,
majesty and delightful charm of some of nature's most elusive and endangered creatures to
audiences around the world.
This is the story of how the boys learned to understand and respect nature and its
inhabitants, many of which were facing imminent extinction in the late '60s. They
captured these remarkable creatures and moments on film for future generations to see and
enjoy.
