Clip: Season 3 Episode 1 | 6m 7sVideo has Closed Captions
Filmmaker David Vassar revisited Yosemite to film nature, but an uprising derailed plans.
What's the right balance between public land use and preservation? We meet filmmaker David Vassar, who as a youth in 1970, visited Yosemite to make a nature film. He didn't expect to film an uprising of the young people that gathered in Stoneman Meadow after park rangers tried to enforce curfews to protect the land from overuse.
