Water Wars, Episode 1

​Benefit screening: Water Wars, Episode 1, 5/10, 12:30pm

​They stole the water. They broke the treaties. Now the rivers are fighting back. Join us Sunday, May 10, 12:30 pm at the New Parkway for a special screening of WATER WARS, the new documentary project by Todd Darling that traces 170 years of broken promises, drained rivers, and the Indigenous-led movements on the Klamath, Missouri, and Mississippi that are rewriting the future of water in this country.

​The West is drying up. The old system is collapsing. And the indigenous communities who were here first are showing us how to save what's left.
