Glen Canyon Institute Presents What the River Knows

Glen Canyon Institute and Friends of the White Salmon present What the River Knows, a Good Intentions Paving Co. Glen Canyon documentary. Following the film screening, the event will conclude with a panel discussion and audience Q+A.

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.
