About the event

Film Premiere: Drowned Land with Colleen Thurston and Michael Farrell
Drowned Land, a documentary by Colleen Thurston, will premiere at Bemis Center as part of From the Great Lakes to the Great Plains: The Visible Currents of Climate Change. The film explores the fight to preserve the Kiamichi River in southeastern Oklahoma, highlighting the environmental and cultural challenges faced by the Choctaw Nation. Through personal narratives and historical context, it sheds light on the impacts of water diversion and dam construction on Indigenous communities. The screening will be followed by a discussion between filmmaker Colleen Thurston and Michael Farrell, co-founder of Platte Basin Timelapse.


Admission is free; RSVPs are encouraged.
