Love is the Way brings together the voices speaking in defense of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, highlighting the generations of stewardship by Gwich'in and Iñupiaq people. Inspired in part by footage of the late photographer Michio Hoshino, this film explores the friendships, values, and stories shaped by the place, and the strong commitments to its protection. As the Trump administration pushes a decades-old political agenda, this film reminds us of the sacred connections between us, and the ways that a place can teach us how to live with respect and compassion.

It's best to experience what you're fighting for. When two adventurers embark on a four-month expedition documenting the world’s longest land mammal migration through the Arctic Refuge of Alaska, they soon discover an incredible ecosystem protected by the Gwich’in Nation for more than 25,000 years, yet held on the precipice of collapse by resource development corporations.

"The ideals that the Association were founded on held true for many communities throughout the state and thus became the Maine Coast Fishermen's Association and expanded well beyond Port Clyde. Like-minded fishermen and community members from throughout Maine's came together to build an organization to create a better future for our marine resources and the communities that rely on them.

​

Today the MCFA is made up of fishermen from the edge of New Hampshire to the Canadian border and works with fishermen in the groundfish, shrimp, lobster, bluefin tuna, herring, whiting, menhaden, monkfish and scallop fisheries." - MCFA
