Language : English
Runtime : 55 mins.

Synopsis: The Beaver Believers is the urgent yet whimsical story of an unlikely cadre of activists - five scientists and a hairdresser - who share a common vision: restoring the North American Beaver, that most industrious, ingenious, bucktoothed engineer, to the watersheds of the American West. A keystone species, beaver enrich their ecosystems, creating the complexity and resiliency needed to absorb the impacts of climate change.
