One of featured films will be “Canis Lupus Colorado,” chronicling the past, present and future of Colorado’s now extinct native wolf population. Another, “Chasing Wild: Journey Into the Sacred Headwaters,” tells the story of three friends’ 250-mile bike packing and packraft expedition in the wake of the Mount Polley Mine disaster in northwestern British Columbia. “A River’s Reckoning” is the account of a fifth-generation rancher battling drought in the headwaters of the Colorado River.
The festival stands as an extension of the two organizations’ commitment to conservation and call to protect the natural environment.
