I dramaet 'Hushpuppy' bor seksårige Hushpuppy med sin far i et udstødt, fattigt men sammentømret samfund i Louisianas sumpområde. Hun er klart bevidst om den større sammenhæng i universet, polerne smelter, og urokserne, der huserer i hendes fantasi, vil føre til jordens undergang. Men det er vigtigt for Hushpuppy at holde modet oppe, for en dag vil hendes far ikke længere kunne beskytte hende. Uundgåeligt kommer oversvømmelsen, men fragmenter af det fattige samfund består, og da farens helbred skranter, begiver Hushpuppy sig ud på en søgen efter sin mor. I 'Hushpuppy' smelter magi, fantasi og den barske virkelighed sammen. Filmen var samtidig omdrejningspunkt for masser af ros ved dette års Sundance Film Festival. 'Hushpuppy' er instrueret af Benh Zeitlin, der vandt debutantprisen Caméra d'Or ved sidste års filmfestival i Cannes. 'Hushpuppy' blev nomineret til fire Oscars, heriblandt Bedste film og Bedste kvindelige hovedrolle.

About an hour's drive from Salt Lake City, Utah is the ski resort of Alta, a former mining town, nestled within the Wasatch Mountains. Skiing and other winter alpine pursuits take place well into mid-spring. The relatively new ski lift is one of the longest in the western US. Some ride the lift not to ski down but to glance at the view from the 1,500 foot summit. Being the end of May, people at nearby Salt Lake are instead enjoying more summerly pursuits, such as boating. Behind only the Dead Sea, it ranks second among all large inland lakes for the saline content at 27%, the buoyancy from which makes it almost impossible to sink in. On shore at Black Rock Beach of the Bonneville Salt Flats is the site of many attempts of land speed records, most records held by Ab Jenkins. Another popular activity in the lake itself is the crystallization of salt around wire forms, the process which requires relatively still water and takes about two hours.
