Passport
About this show
Working backward through filmmaker Paul Bonesteel’s decades-long fascination, this documentary unravels the mysterious life of George Masa — a Japanese immigrant whose extraordinary photographs helped define the identity of the Great Smoky Mountains. Filmed across Japan, the Pacific Northwest, and the Blue Ridge, this is a story of passion, loss, and the redemptive power of art and place.
