This session includes a panel discussion, originally recorded live on Saturday, January 16thThe story of the San Francisco Bay Delta&nbsp;estuary&nbsp;is at the heart of California’s problematic history with water. The film,&nbsp;River’s End, takes a deep dive into the political quagmire,&nbsp;and reveals a level of nuance much deeper than the simplistic&nbsp;“fish versus farms”&nbsp;narrative. Why is water considered the new gold, and&nbsp;what are the effects of increased water diversions on San Francisco Bay and its&nbsp;watershed? How&nbsp;will we&nbsp;make our&nbsp;water supply&nbsp;more reliable&nbsp;in the face of climate&nbsp;change and already unsustainable demands? Esteemed CA water expert panelists, including US Congressman Jared Huffman, Chief Caleen Sisk of the Winnemem Wintu Tribe, and SF Baykeeper Senior Scientist Dr. Jon Rosenfield, address some of these questions and more in a live Q&amp;A,&nbsp;moderated by award-winning&nbsp;LA Times&nbsp;journalist Bettina Boxall. Join us to learn more about CA’s&nbsp;complex&nbsp;history with water and how addressing its challenges can help us solve water issues around the world. Water is life sustaining - and yet it is contaminated, threatened by unwise development, polluted, and fought over around the world. The films in this session instill a sense of appreciation for the water that supports life in all its forms and show the people fighting to protect it. Featuring: Wild Climate (27 min) | River's End: California's Latest Water War (81 min)

Filmmaker Introduction: River's End: California's Latest Water War

Award Winner: Jury Award &amp; People's Choice Award Using California as a microcosm, River's End explores the global water crises. It draws the parallel between the draining of the Owens Valley by LA, made famous by CHINATOWN, and what is happening in real time in Northern California’s Bay-Delta. Except this time, the water grab is at the hands of Big Agriculture. River’s End implores viewers to learn where their water comes from so that we can save our rivers and the ecosystems and communities that depend upon them.
