About this Event
WILDERNESS is an hourlong workplace drama that follows twenty-something field guides working in the unpredictable, grueling and frequently absurd "wilderness therapy” industry in southern Utah, as they care for wayward teens and come to understand themselves. The series peers inside the workings of these real and ethically murky for-profit businesses, that offer teenage clients whose parents can pay top dollar a 24/7 crash course in survival in the picturesque high deserts of Southern Utah.
