Step into the rugged beauty of Montana’s Upper Missouri River Breaks and follow eight Black adventurers as they retrace the path of the legendary Lewis and Clark Expedition. This 30-minute documentary, produced by the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail in partnership with NEW Multimedia, shines a long-overdue spotlight on York—the only Black member of the Corps of Discovery.
Born into slavery yet walking stride for stride with America’s famed explorers, York’s story has been overshadowed for centuries. Big Medicine reclaims his voice, weaving together history, healing, and the power of outdoor adventure. Through breathtaking landscapes and intimate reflections, the film connects York’s legacy to today’s fight for equity in outdoor spaces and the joy of reclaiming narratives once lost.
