SUMMARY:UNSEEN: Documentary Screening
DESCRIPTION:Unseen captures a ceremonial expedition through Oregon’s most remote wilderness, where invisible wounds meet invincible spirit. As these veterans bikepack across rugged terrain, they carry more than gear—they carry stories of trauma, resilience, and the right to roam freely, without hate, prejudice, or silence.\nThe journey begins in Lakeview, Oregon—a quiet, intimate town known as the gateway to the Oregon Timber Trail the last frontier. From this sacred starting point, the veterans launch the Freedom to Roam project: a 200-mile odyssey through ancestral lands, volcanic plateaus, and alpine forests.\nThe Oregon Timber Trail is more than a route—it’s a living corridor of history and healing. Stretching over 600 miles from California to the Columbia River Gorge, it invites all people to explore, reflect, and reconnect with nature on their own terms. It is open to everyone, regardless of background, identity, or burden.\nThis film honors the legacy of the Triple Nickel —America’s first Black smokejumpers, who protected Oregon’s forests during World War II when they were denied the right to fight. Their story echoes through the trees, as today’s veterans pick up the torch of remembrance and ride toward justice.\nUnseen is not just a film. It is a movement. A prayer. A trail toward healing.\n
