Wading for Change (Director)
For conservationist and angler Jr Rodriguez to become “like the pictures he saw in magazines,” he had to leave behind what he loved most. By juxtaposing Jr’s origins in Houston, Texas, and his home in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, we share his journey of learning to love the outdoors and what it can be like to join in outdoor sports and conservation as a person of color in mountain towns in the western United States.
