America’s Lost Landscape: The Tallgrass Prairie

This film tells the rich and complex story of one of the most astonishing alterations of nature in human history.

Prior to Euro-American settlement in the 1820s, one of the major landscape features of North America was 240 million acres of tallgrass prairie. Between 1830 and 1900—in the span of a single lifetime—the prairie was steadily transformed into farmland.

The extraordinary cinematography of prairie remnants is delicately interwoven with an original score and archival images to create a moving experience about the natural and cultural history of America.
