# Event Details - **Event Name**: Reel Science: Unless Something Goes Terribly Wrong - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 25 Aug, 2026 at 06:30 pm (-07:00) - **Event Description**: A film and discussion about our wastewater systems with a panel of local experts August 25 | 6:30-8:30 pm | Doors at 6:15 pm Wastewater plants across the country are in need of resuscitation. Half a century after the Clean Water Act radically improved how we handle our sewage, our once modern facilities have aged beyond their intended lifespans. Pipes are cracking and growing populations push plants to their limits. The threats are mounting but the infrastructure hasn’t changed. And, just when it seems things couldn’t get any worse, a cancer-causing contaminant (PFAS) enters the scene and threatens to collapse the entire house of cards. In response, one plant that can’t afford to ever shut down, must find clever solutions to an ever-growing mountain of problems. Over the course of one calendar year, we follow the day-to-day operations of one wastewater facility and the funny, close-knit, and inventive individuals working to keep it all running. On a daily basis, the team laughs and struggles in a plant that looks like a movie set with labyrinths of pipes and blinking panels. Unless Something Goes Terribly Wrong is a buddy comedy about sewage and the thankless pursuit of making a better world. 73 minutes | 2025 6:15 pm | Theater doors open 6:30 pm | Documentary: Unless Something Goes Terribly Wrong 7:45pm | Panel discussion with: Joshua Clark, Wastewater Plant Operations Supervisor, Clackamas County, Water Environment Services, Kellogg Creek Water Resource Recovery Facility Charissa Rogers, Operations Coordinator III, City of Portland, Bureau of Environmental Services Greyson Carkner, Rock Creek AWRRF Operator 2, Clean Water Services Claire Houston, Wastewater Operator II, City of Portland, Bureau of Environmental Services Brooke Weeks, P.E., Professional Engineer & Community Infrastructure Educator (Moderator) TICKETS: Pay what you can, tickets for this event will be a sliding scale of $0-$15. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/portland/reel-science-unless-something-goes-terribly-wrong/200030511126322 - **Event Categories**: science-fair, entertainment, business, workshops, comedy, art, theatre, calendar - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 51 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Portland - **state**: OR - **country**: United States - **location**: 1945 SE Water Ave, Portland, OR, United States, Oregon 97214 - **lat**: 45.50845 - **long**: -122.66647 - **full address**: 1945 SE Water Ave, Portland, OR, United States, Oregon 97214 ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Reel Science: Unless Something Goes Terribly Wrong - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/cb8f299d6ed9cfbcf71962ba2660d7cde141a23c376b4192323570a2379ba9a6-rimg-w1197-h891-dcf8f8f8-gmir?v=1787583672 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Reel Science: Unless Something Goes Terribly Wrong being held? - **A:** Reel Science: Unless Something Goes Terribly Wrong takes place on Tue, 25 Aug, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Tue, 25 Aug, 2026 at 06:30 pm at 1945 SE Water Ave, Portland, OR, United States, Oregon 97214. - **Q**: Who is organizing Reel Science: Unless Something Goes Terribly Wrong? - **A:** Reel Science: Unless Something Goes Terribly Wrong is organized by Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI). - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI)'s events? - **A:** Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) has 140+ followers on AllEvents, reflecting a trusted and active community of event-goers who follow their events.
