DamNation documents an inspiring movement to restore rivers to health by removing low value, high cost dams. Majestic cinematography and unexpected interviews from diverse interests travel through rivers and landscapes altered by dams, and also through a metamorphosis in values. And DamNation is not without its action heroes, including the activist/artist who scaled down the Matilija Dam in Ojai California painting a giant pair of scissors. Sharing a common desire, supporters work to restore rivers, preserve tribal customs, recover fish stocks, revitalize waterfronts, improve recreational opportunities and render watersheds more resilient to climate change.
After the screening, attendees are invited to stay and hear from Candice Meneghin, Conservation Manager for Cal Trout, about the effort to ensure there will be resilient populations of wild fish thriving in the healthy rivers of Southern California, including our own San Gabriel River.
About Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust
The Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust for Long Beach and Seal Beach was incorporated in 2001 by dedicated individuals who grasped the vital importance of the Los Cerritos Wetlands and the urgency of saving and restoring what remained of this unique estuary. We are working with the Los Cerritos Wetlands Authority (LCWA) and each of its entities—City of Long Beach, City of Seal Beach, Rivers and Mountains Conservancy and the California Coastal Conservancy—to restore recently acquired portions of the Los Cerritos Wetlands.
