God in a Roadside Ditch

Directed by Karsten Wall

Produced by Alicia Smith

Set in the Interlake region of Manitoba, God in a Roadside Ditch is a 15-minute experimental nature film that explores the impacts of human-created light pollution on insects and plants of the common Canadian wetland. From the organic lights of fireflies to the ultraviolet glow of carnivorous plants, and featuring the 24-hour lifecycle of fishflies, this film offers a unique and up-close vision of natural beauty in one of the most overlooked habitats in Canada.
