Experience the Spokane River like never before at the premiere of The River Speaks, an anthology film by Chase Ogden that shares the stories, history, and spirit of our river. Through a series of vivid vignettes, the film highlights the connection between people and the river, celebrating its role in the community and environment.

After the screening, join Chase Ogden and a panel of local voices for a discussion on the river’s past, present, and future. This is a unique chance to reflect on the river that shapes our region and learn more about efforts to protect it.

“Human presence in the Spokane region is now, and has always been, closely tied to the health of the Spokane River. Most, if not all, Spokanites are aware of this fact. Yet, few people know the history of the river, nor do they know the truth behind the challenges it currently faces.” - Chase Ogden
