The adventure-documentary “Where the Yellowstone Goes” will make its Washington, D.C. premier at the Environmental Film Festival in the Nation’s Capital next month. In its 21st year in Washington, the festival will consider the vital role of earth’s rivers in human survival.
Introduced by Rebecca Wodder, Senior Advisor to the Secretary, U.S. Department of the Interior, and attended by Director Hunter Weeks and Producer Sarah Hall, “Where the Yellowstone Goes,” will be shown at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, March 18, 2013 in the U.S. Department of the Interior Yates Auditorium, located at 1849 C St., NW, Washington, D.C.
“This is a story about life on one of our greatest, most-preserved rivers. It explores some serious conservation issues along with great fishing, but ultimately is about each of our lives and the impact we make while we’re here,” said Hunter Weeks, director of the film.
This event is FREE and no reservations are required, however, it is strongly advised to arrive at least an hour early. Trout Headwaters, Inc. is the premier sponsor of the film.
Embark on a 30-day drift boat expedition down the longest free-flowing river in the continental United States. From the Gateway to Yellowstone National Park in Gardiner, Montana to the confluence of the Missouri River at historic Fort Buford, North Dakota, two boats drift north along the Yellowstone River. Led by a fly-fishing guide and fourth-generation Montanan, this inspirational journey takes place amongst the peaceful sounds of a massive water flow, flanked on each side by rugged mountains, plains full of big game and an unending sky showcasing bald eagles and osprey. Connect with colorful characters, get lost in the hypnotic cast of a fly rod and experience fireside stories on this river adventure. Intimate portraits of locals in both booming cities and dusty, dwindling towns along the Yellowstone River illustrate the history and controversies surrounding this enigmatic watershed, leading to questions about its future.
