CRA would like to share two special opportunities to view an exceptional film. DamNation is a powerful film exploring the sea change in our national attitude from pride in big dams as engineering wonders to the growing awareness that our own future is bound to the life and health of our rivers.
Where obsolete dams come down, rivers bound back to life, giving salmon and other wild fish the right of return to primeval spawning grounds, after decades without access. The film’s majestic cinematography and unexpected discoveries move through rivers and landscapes altered by dams, but also through a metamorphosis in values, from conquest of the natural world to knowing ourselves as part of nature.
Please join us for a screening in Ann Arbor presented by Bivouac on Tuesday, October 21 at 7pm at the State Theatre (233 South State St, Ann Arbor). Bivouac is raffling prizes after the viewing. All tickets are $6 and proceeds benefit Conservation Resource Alliance. Details are available at Bivouac presents DamNation.
There will also be a free screening presented by the Northern Michigan Environmental Action Council in Traverse City on Monday, October 27 at 6pm at the State Theatre. Join local environmental and natural resource professionals for a Q&A discussion following the film. Details are available at NMEAC presents DamNation.
