SEASON 1

The First Mile

From sacred corridors in South India to rusted engines in rural Georgia, from desert skies in Texas to botanical stillness in Muir Woods, Season 1 traces a year of wandering. These sets move through temples, gardens, rail yards, coastlines, cities, canyons, and quiet animal encounters—capturing texture, light, motion, and mood across continents. It is a catalogue of journeys: from Atlanta’s pulse to New Orleans’ rhythm, from the National Mall’s civic calm to Big Bend’s vast solitude, from southern forests to California’s Pacific edge. A season of searching—through places, people, and passing moments—for something worth keeping still.
