Are you feeling a little cynical? Maybe a little down? Have no fear, we have a documentary to cure what ails you. It’s called “The Gnomist.” As in garden gnomes.

Our producer Charles Monroe-Kane caught up with the film’s director, Sharon Liese, to find out what happened with garden gnomes along the Tomahawk Creek Trail in Overland Park, Kansas. A place now dubbed The Firefly Forest.
Intelligent. Optimistic. Curious.
