Lost River: Grand Cinema, Tuesday Dec. 3, 2:40 and 7:50

Once flowing through nearly every developed city in the world, rivers
provided the infrastructure upon which modern metropolises were built. In
this adventurous and revelatory look into the disappearance and recent
resurfacing of these historic waterways, Lost Rivers leads us down the drain
into vast underground museums of urban development. Guiding us through the
hidden river networks of London, Brescia (Italy), Montreal and Toronto,
intrepid groups of subterranean explorers known as "drainers" reveal the
buried waterways that house the secrets of each city's past. Exploring
recent initiatives to resurface and revitalize these forgotten waterways in
Yonkers and Seoul, the fascinating Lost Rivers brings to life an aspect of
urban ecology that has long been kept secret.
