About From the Hill to the Horizon, A Journey Beyond the Beltway
While many know Donna Edwards for her trailblazing career in the halls of Congress, From the Hill to the Horizon captures her in a much different light—behind the wheel of her RV, "Lucille."
This short film is an intimate exploration of resilience. Facing the daily realities of multiple sclerosis, Donna trades political battles for the vast, healing landscapes of our National Parks. The film captures the intersection of public service and public lands, reminding us that America’s wild spaces belong to everyone—and that the most profound journeys often begin when we leave the "Hill" behind.
