Anacostia Unplugged, Neighbor

Learn how going outside is saving lives, preserving the environment, and empowering communities along the Anacostia River in this free, online documentary series.

The documentary series will follow the lives of individuals living along the Anacostia River, and show their journey as they reconnect with the natural environment along this historically neglected and polluted Watershed. Through their stories, we will begin to understand why we need to reconnect with our natural surroundings, the surprising benefits of being outdoors, and the consequences of our plugged in lifestyles. Viewers will ultimately be challenged to examine how our society's increasingly sedentary and indoor lifestyles are hazardous to our health and quality of life.
