Midshore Riverkeeper Conservancy is proud to present its inaugural movie, Let our Rivers Flow, airing on Maryland Public Television on April 17 at 10:00 pm. A previous version was first released at our Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival in November 2011. Since then the film has been significantly expanded and revised.
The 25 minute documentary is a visual celebration of our local rivers, their history, beauty, ecological condition, and describes what we and others in the community are doing to restore and protect them.
The movie, originally budgeted to cost $100,000, was produced with donated time from scientists, local camera and editorial professionals, and local musicians who wrote and recorded the music—truly a community effort. Revealing intimate visuals of our natural world and a cast of remarkable characters, the movie not only reflects our special sense of place, but celebrates the spirit of generosity and commitment of stewardship that lies within our community.
So please set aside time on April 17 to watch this remarkable film, and join the community effort to Let our Rivers Flow!
