About the film:
From 2023-2025, Glen Canyon Institute worked closely with Good Intentions Paving Co. directors Will Buckley and Diego Riley to create What the River Knows, a new documentary film exploring the reemergence of Glen Canyon from the receding waters of Lake Powell reservoir.
As over-consumption and climate change force a reckoning of Colorado River policy, we are presented with the opportunity to restore one of the most stunning landscapes on the planet. What the River Knows is an advocacy short-doc that examines this unique inflection point in a centuries-long history, weaving together past and present to reveal a new way forward for the Colorado River.
*Sponsorship must be received by September 1st to be included in the poster feature.
