Catch #PAFF2021 Official Selection THAT'S WILD at the 29th Annual Pan African Film Festival Feb 28-Mar 14 online and on-demand only FILM LIST AVAIL ON WEBSITE link in bio #PAFFNow #IAMPAFF #BlackExcellence That's Wild Dir: Michiel Thomas Prod: Michael Franklin ... Growing up in Atlanta can be hard as highlighted by three real-life protagonists in That’s Wild. 16-year-old Clifford tries to fill the void of his incarcerated father, 13-year-old Ahmani struggles with the aftermath of a homeless childhood, and 13-year-old Nicholas grapples with episodes of depression. When the boys sign up for the after-school program Wilderness Works, they quickly begin to unpack the negative pressures that surround them in their day-to-day lives. Under the mentorship of the dynamic duo Bill and Ebonie, these teenagers learn about the transformative and healing effects of time spent in the outdoors. As Clifford, Ahmani and Nicholas set their sights on the strenuous terrains of the Maroon Bells Wilderness in Colorado, they quickly begin to realize the magnitude of their adventure. Led by Bill, this backpacking summer trip takes these teenage boys through rapid rivers, high-altitudes and 12,000 ft snowcapped peaks all while overcoming their own personal mountains.
