Filmed in Boise, Idaho in the USA, The Undercurrent was made with ten youth climate activists from Boise and small towns from the surrounding area who responded to an online open call. While the climate crisis appears to be the most important theme, the activists explore how it interconnects with other aspects of their lives including family, religion, friendship, the fight for gender equality and the essential need of a home. Exploring further questions of home, security, shelter, communication and nature, members from the local homeless community from Boise reflect on their experiences. For what is it that makes us feel like we belong somewhere: Is it a home, a country, or each other?
