Swim for the River Documentary Film Thursday May 16th, 2024 @ 7:00 pm
- This event has passed.
Christopher Swain in 2006 braved whitewater, sewage, snapping turtles, hydroelectric dams, Homeland Security patrols, factory outfalls, and PCB contamination to become the first person to swim the entire length of the Hudson River from the Adirondack Mountains to New York City.
Swain’s experience links together stories of the river, which begins in wilderness and ends in one of the nations densest population centers. We meet heroes who are fighting to protect the Hudson against a range of threats from industry, inept regulatory agencies, and public indifference. We also see how ordinary citizens can and do make a difference through the choices they make that affect the environment, and by joining together around a common cause.
This film is 56 minutes in length. Please call 518-747-6743 to reserve your seat as seating will be limited to that of 30 people.
