O Pioneer reckons with and redefines the American pioneer. This documentary follows three West Virginians as they creatively navigate hardship and call us to champion the pioneer within. Narrated by lyricist and musician Kaïa Kater, the film weaves verité moments with archival footage, poetic vignettes, and dream-like animation—as Tim Hibbs, Nellie Rose Gundersen Davis, and James Morley humbly answer their calls to pioneer a way forward.

Q+A with directors Jonathan Lococque & Clara Lehmann
