Join us for a very special event celebrating truly local narratives of the North Coast. This film block brings together three stories rooted in coastlines and rivers as sites of encounter, survival, and ongoing stewardship.

From shipwrecks along the Pacific Northwest that reveal layered histories of inequality and cultural collision, to a contemporary journey retracing the path of York, the enslaved African American man who traveled with the Lewis and Clark Expedition, to a student-run salmon hatchery sustaining both an ecosystem and a community, these films examine how waterways hold our memories and shape our futures. Together, these films explore how the past remains present in the landscapes people navigate, care for, and depend on today.
