Voices We Shall Never Hear

This extraordinary collage of dramatic footage is narrated by Blanco and set to the words of twentieth century writer and naturalist Henry Beston. The piece is made more powerful by the music, written and performed by Blanco himself. Beston famously wrote that "Nature is part of our humanity, and without some awareness of that divine mystery man ceases to be man."
