Episode Ep 5: Lauren Elder

0:00 40:06

It’s 1976, and a 20-something aspiring painter, Lauren Elder, is flying over California’s Sierra Mountains to pick up a cat named Ferocious. When the plane crashes, she’s faced with a decision: stay and wait for rescue, or cross a wilderness where—in her hallucinatory state—she can’t even tell what's real.

Sources for this episode include the book And I Alone Survived by Lauren Elder and Shirley Streshinsky, articles in Artforum and the LA Times by Maria Borges and Cecilia Rasmussen, LaurenElder.com, and the Women Eco-Artists Dialogue (weadartists.org).
