This screening of River (2021) in at the Haskell Opera House in Derby Line, straddling over the Canada-U.S. boarder, the perfect way to honor free-flowing rivers and their vital role in supporting migratory fish!
Spanning six continents, River is a breathtaking visual and musical odyssey that explores the timeless relationship between human civilization and Earth’s rivers—their power, beauty, and fragility. Narrated by Academy Award nominee Willem Dafoe and featuring music by Radiohead and the Australian Chamber Orchestra, the film is both a celebration and a call to awareness. As The Guardian describes it, River is “an impressive visual event for the big screen.” Need to get a ticket : free or as much as you might like to donate to support the work.
