CONVERGENCE – Official Trailer from Conservation Hawks on Vimeo.
In September, 2016, the Conservation Hawks team filmed Hilary Hutcheson and her daughters Ella and Delaney; Travis Swartz (a.k.a. “Hank Patterson”); Simon Perkins, Els Van Woert and their daughter Pippa, and Pippa’s grandfather (and Orvis CEO) Perk Perkins. CONVERGENCE is the story of these incredible anglers and their collective passions: their love for wild trout; for healthy landscapes; for clean, cold waters and for family and friends. The film also shares their concerns about the future, their desire to protect our fisheries, and their unease with our changing climate and rapidly warming planet.
Human-caused global warming is the most serious threat to our angling, and to the future of fly fishing.

CONVERGENCE is a collaborative effort between Conservation Hawks and Conservation Media. It follows the recent Conservation Hawks films COLD WATERS and CHROME, and will be part of the 2017 Fly Fishing Film Tour (F3T).
