Leave No Trace
Directed by Debra Granik
Produced by Bron Studios, First Look Media
A tender yet melancholic portrait of a father-daughter bond tested by trauma and the impossibility of escape, set against the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
A father and daughter live a perfect but mysterious existence in Forest Park, a beautiful nature reserve near Portland, Oregon, rarely making contact with the world. But when a small mistake tips them off to authorities, they are sent on an increasingly erratic journey in search of a place to call their own.
