Wild & Scenic Environmental Film Festival

The 2009 Wild & Scenic Environmental Film Festival on Tour came to Atlanta's Tara Theater March 4-5, 2009. Each night offered a different program of six to seven films of varying lengths, plus a local interest piece. The audience joined a group of world class whitewater kayakers on the White Nile and other amazing rivers in The Last Descent; witnessed the centuries-old struggle over coal through the lens of a friendship in peril in Mine; and saw sharks in a brand new light in Gimme a Hug.

Since 2003, the Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival has grown to receive local, regional, and national applause for celebrating the spirit of environmental activism and has become the largest traveling festival of its kind in North America. Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper (UCR) , Georgia River Network and Georgia ForestWatch have partnered to bring together the best of these award-winning environmental films in a total four-hour program since 2008.
