THE EXPERIENCE
Glen Canyon Institute, in collaboration with the Deschutes River Alliance and WaterWatch of Oregon, presents What the River Knows, a Glen Canyon documentary by Good Intentions Paving Co.
The evening will open with a documentary short from the Deschutes River Alliance. The Last 100 Miles: The Fight for the lower Deschutes River portrays the degradation of one of the finest trout and salmon sanctuaries anywhere in the world, and the work by those who love the river to save it.
Following the film screening, the event will conclude with a panel discussion and audience Q+A.
ON SCREEN: What the River Knows
2025. Directed by Diego Riley and Will Buckley. Runtime: 34 min.
Today, a lost Eden emerges from beneath Lake Powell, revealing both the consequences of past mistakes and the potential for a new path forward for the Colorado River. What The River Knows explores this pivotal moment, where the urgent need to rethink water management in the West aligns with an opportunity to restore a stunning landscape and flooded ancestral homeland. Amidst the grim discussions surrounding climate change and the Colorado River crisis, the film tells a powerful story of nature’s resilience: Glen Canyon is coming back to life.
