JACKSON HOLE WILD FILMJACKSON HOLE WILD FILM SCREENING

Eco Centro • FREE event   

6:30 - 8 pm 

Return of the River explores the largest dam removal and river restoration project on the planet. The film follows a coalition of people who attempt the impossible: to change the opinion of a town and eventually the nation to bring two dams down. A divided community comes to consensus, launching an unprecedented restoration effort.  A documentary infused with hope, Return of the River offers inspiration amid grim environmental news, showing how an idea moved from "crazy" to celebrated reality. Reviewed as "hell-raising documentary filmmaking at its best", Return of the River has been recognized with a dozen festival awards. There will be a question and answer session with the filmmaker. Bring your own dinner/potluck and we will be serving popcorn.
