What We Lost Along the Way is a poignant short documentary that follows three close friends from the inner city as they venture to the breathtaking Oregon coast in search of peace, connection, and a sense of belonging in nature. Through their eyes, we experience the beauty and tranquility of the coastal landscape, challenging the stereotypical notion that the great outdoors is not a space for Black people.
The film captures intimate moments of reflection, joy, and camaraderie as they hike through lush forests, roar through endless dunes, bare witness to the ocean’s raw power, and share ideas around a fire.
