Glen Canyon Institute presents What the River Knows, a new documentary exploring the reemergence of Glen Canyon.
About this Event

Glen Canyon Institute presents What the River Knows, a Good Intentions Paving Co. documentary exploring the reemergence of Glen Canyon from the receding waters of Lake Powell reservoir. As the West faces the urgent need to redesign water management, we are offered the chance to restore one of the planet’s most stunning landscapes. What the River Knows explores this unique reflection point in a centuries-long history, weaving together past and present to reveal a new way forward for the Colorado River.

The evening will open with Glen Canyon Rising, a documentary short from Crow Canyon Archaeological Center featuring Hopi archaeologist Lyle Balenquah and author Craig Childs. This powerful visual and narrative experience reveals layers of human history embedded in the landscape. As water levels fall, generations of cultural footprints are revealed, and dormant ecological systems begin to stir once more.

After the film screening, the event will conclude with a panel discussion and opportunity for audience Q+A.
