Film Screening: What the River Knows – El Cajon, CA
Join us for a film screening of What the River Knows, a new documentary about Glen Canyon and the Colorado River, followed by
Glen Canyon Institute—in collaboration with San Diego Coastkeeper, the Tijuana River Coalition, Surfrider Foundation, San Diego Food System Alliance, and 4 Walls International—presents What the River Knows, a documentary by Good Intentions Paving Co. exploring the reemergence of Glen Canyon from the receding waters of Lake Powell reservoir. 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.
A panel discussion and audience Q+A will follow the film screening.
The event will wrap up with lunch and the opportunity for us to reflect together in community on the relationship between the San Diego region and the Colorado River.
