The Road West


Students, Todd Yancey and Carla Porterfield, shot and edited a documentary film, The Road West,  exploring the Montreat College American Ecosystems Trip.     The goal of the documentary was to chronicle the positive personal transformations that occurred on this journey as a result of being in close community and surrounded by the beauty of our national parks.  Professor Jim Shores produced the film, which was funded in part by the Ledford Grant through the Appalachian College Association.
