Hello from the Destiny City Film Festival, Tacoma's newest celebration of
film and storytelling!
In our first year, we will be showcasing 29 new independent films,
alongside some great free storytelling events, and I'd like to invite you
to see a film that I think is of particular interest to you.
DamNation (87 minutes, Docmentary, USA)
*Plays: *Friday, August 1st, 3:00pm & Saturday, August 2nd, 12:00pm
At the Blue Mouse Theatre (2611 N. Proctor)
Synopsis: DamNation uncovers how intricately the dams engineered since
the industrial revolution have severely altered the landscapes, wildlife
ecosystems and native populations that surround the countless river systems
across America. As dam removal becomes more mainstream, rivers are bounding
back to life, giving salmon and other wild fish the right to return to
primeval spawning grounds, after decades without access. DamNation suggests
that nothing lasts forever, including the concrete monoliths that have
impounded America's free-flowing rivers in the name of "progress" for ages.

The film discusses dams from across the country, but particular focus is
given to some of Washington State's dams, including the Elwha Dam and river
restoration, and the effects that their existence has had on our ecosystems
and Native cultural traditions.
Tickets are still available for both screenings. Visit our website
