Badlands National Park

It wasn’t until 40 years later that the tribe’s contemporary herd was begun, when a large cattle trailer — driven by Heinert — arrived in fall 2014 with 38 bison from Badlands National Park.

But with or without fireworks, there are signs that people will be lining up at tourism draws like Mount Rushmore, Wall Drug and Badlands National Park.

The movie follows Fern, who after her husband dies of cancer, embarks on a road trip that highlights Badlands National Park, Wall Drug and the hands of Reptile Gardens’ curator Terry Phillips.

The film shows Fern working a variety of jobs — packing boxes at an Amazon warehouse, cleaning toilets as a camp host in Badlands National Park, shoveling sugar beets at a Nebraska processing plant.

Fern heads to South Dakota’s magnificently craggy Badlands National Park, where she picks up trash on the campgrounds, and later to a Nebraska field, where she takes part in the fall sugar-beet harvest.
