Feature Ticket for "The River Remembers" directed by Jordan Riber on August 7th at 5:00 pm in the Roxy Theatre. The tickets to this block can be picked up at the Roxy will call booth in front of the theatre.
The River Remembers follows the intertwined struggles of the Indigenous people of the Elwha and Klamath Rivers as they lead the two largest dam removals in U.S. history. These rivers have always been lifelines, and their decline has mirrored the erasure of Native ways of life.
The film braids together intimate family stories and sweeping historical battles: parents teaching their children to fish, catastrophic salmon kills that galvanized action, and generations who refused to give up a century-long fight.
From the joy of witnessing water flow free on the Elwha to the hard-fought victory of the Undam the Klamath campaign, The River Remembers reveals a movement where ecological restoration and cultural survival are inseparable. More than a story of loss, it is a vision of resilience, healing, and the possibility of renewal for future generations.
