Shifting Sands: On the Path to Sustainability, the documentary produced locally by long-time Indiana Dunes environmentalist Lee Botts, will be released on 82 public television stations nationwide on Sunday, Aug. 14.

The documentary shows how the influential environmental battles fought over the Dunes offer a blueprint for a more sustainable future and showcases the region as a catalyst of American conservation, industrialization, and environmental policy.

“We are excited and gratified that ‘Shifting Sands’ is getting so much attention across the country,” Botts said. “The story of conserving the Indiana Dunes captures the importance of ecology, the environment, and of consensus building among opposing stakeholders. It’s a story relatable to many pockets of the country.”

The 82 stations airing Shifting Sands: On the Path to Sustainability include public television stations in Boston, Dallas, New Orleans, and Los Angeles.

The August nationwide debut of Shifting Sands: On the Path to Sustainability marks 100 years since the National Park Service (NPS) first proposed a national park in an urban settingÑa proposal to safeguard one of America’s most studied landscapes. The film also honors the 100th anniversary NPS and the 50th anniversary of the congressional authorization of Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.
