Columbia Arts and the Deschutes River Alliance (DRA) are pleased to present the Columbia Gorge Premiere of The Last 100 Miles: The Fight for the Lower Deschutes with an intro by the film’s Director and Gorge resident Michael Peterson, a post-film Q&A hosted by DRA Executive Director Sarah Cloud, and a reception featuring live music by Paul Chasman, the composer of the film’s score.

Program begins at 6:30pm. Doors open at 6pm.

The Last 100 Miles: The Fight for the Lower Deschutes River portrays the degradation of one of the world’s finest trout and salmon sanctuaries. The Deschutes River is fed by rain and snow from the rugged mountains of central and eastern Oregon. Dams built 60 years ago wiped out prolific salmon and steelhead runs. Yet, the remaining 100 miles of free-flowing river is most beloved.
