Storytelling has the power to shift perspectives, inspire action, and connect us across borders. In this episode, we sit down with filmmaker, photographer, and URI professor Jason Jaacks, whose work explores the natural world and our place within it through science, history, and human experience. From producing films for National Geographic to documenting voices on the frontlines of conservation, Jaacks shows how stories can illuminate urgent issues while also sparking empathy and wonder. Together, we discuss the craft of telling stories that don’t just inform—but move us toward impact.
