Return of the River
PRESENTED BY: Sno-King Meaningful Movies“Return of the River” follows a group of strong-minded committed people as they attempt the impossible: to change the public opinion of a town and eventually the nation to bring a dam down. The community comes to a consensus, setting the Elwha River free and showing the way to more sustainable future. Amid grim environmental news, “Return of the River” is a film infused with hope.
The film features people and perspectives on all sides of the Elwha debate, reflecting the many voices of the Elwha valley. Β For more information on the film, go to: http://www.elwhafilm.com/
Following the showing, there will be refreshments and then a discussion with co-director of the film Β John Gussman. Β He writes, “Fundamentally, the Elwha River is a story about people and the land they inhabit. The film captures the tenacity of individuals who would not give up on a river, mirroring the tenacity of salmon headed upstream to spawn. It is a narrative with global ramifications, exploring the complex relationship between communities and the environment that sustains them.”
