This documentary celebrates three Appalachians as they embark upon an important journey—a journey that unfolds in the midst of a pandemic and personal heartache among three individuals: a blacksmith, seamstress and a hospital chaplain. Weaving narration with archival pioneer footage, candid moments from each subject, poetic vignettes, and dream-like animation, "O Pioneer" asks viewers to courageously champion the pioneer within.
