Trouble in the Headwaters: a documentary film screening event in Kelowna
Join us on Thursday, September 4th, from 6:15-8:45 PM at the Rotary Centre for the Arts in Kelowna, for an eye-opening film and an important discussion about forestry and flooding in BC.
About the film:
Trouble in the Headwaters is a hard-hitting documentary that investigates the 2018 Grand Forks flood and reveals the connection to clearcut logging in the headwaters of the Kettle River Basin. The film follows Dr. Younes Alila, a professor of forest hydrology at the University of British Columbia, and two retired loggers as they travel through the Kettle River Watershed and unravel the science connecting industrial clearcutting and the growing risk of flooding, landslides and drought across British Columbia.
Interact with the filmmaker, Daniel Pierce, and the main subject, Dr. Younes Alila, as well as local experts, after the film.
Our featured panellists include:
Daniel Pierce, director of Trouble in the Headwaters
Dr. Younes Alila, Professor of Forest Hydrology at the University of British Columbia
Sonia Furstenau, former BC Green Party Leader
Elliot Tonasket, Okanagan Nation Alliance Natural Resource Spokesperson
