For over a century, sheepherders have led their flocks over Montana’s Beartooth Mountains to summer pastures. However, much has changed over time. With new technology and a larger civilization, few have continued to make that journey. Sweetgrass is both an elegy to the last modern cowboys of the American West and a eulogy for a dying way of life.

Filming for Sweetgrass began in 2001, and further filming and development would last another eight seasons until the film's 2009 premier. It has been called a great work of visual art as well as a film and has been praised for its cinematography and minimalism, including a lack of narration or a soundtrack.

There is no charge for the film, and donations will be accepted to help defray the cost of showing the films. The movie and popcorn are free; wine, beer, pop and water will be for sale. Seating is provided, but film fans can bring their own floor pillows, portable chairs, or whatever is comfortable for viewing the film.
