“Films like Watershed are a necessary part of the solution. Raising awareness of the problem is a first step. Engaging the masses in taking action comes next, and in this case, action means conservation.” - Robert Redford

As the most dammed, dibbed, and diverted river in the world struggles to support thirty million people and the peace-keeping agreement known as the Colorado River Pact reaches its limits, Watershed introduces hope.

This special retrospective screening of 2012’s Watershed will begin with a tribute to Robert Redford and be followed by a conversation with filmmaker Mark Decena and Maggie Burnette Stogner (Executive Director, The Center for Environmental Filmmaking at American University), who wrote a 2024 case study on the impact of the film.
