About this Event
The DCU North Dublin Science Festival will welcome guests to a special screening of The Tolka – This is Your River, the inspiring 2026 documentary which brings viewers on a journey in and around Dublin’s Tolka River.
Directed by John Gormley, this compelling film showcases the power of community resilience, celebrating grassroots activists like the Tolka River Environmental Alliance (TREA) as they fight pollution, revive local wildlife, and restock the river with native brown trout.
Guests attending are invited to join a pre-screening drinks reception from 6.30pm, with the film screening (approx. 30 minutes) from 7pm.
Director John Gormley along with researchers from DCU’s Water Institute will take part in a panel discussion immediately following the screening.
