Pacific University and the Indigenous Student Alliance is partnering with OPB to bring the film “First Descent: Kayaking the Klamath” to the Forest Grove Campus on Thursday, Nov. 5.

Join OPB producer Jessie Sears (Karuk) for a special screening and celebration of the film "First Descent: Kayaking the Klamath." The film follows a group of 28 Indigenous kayakers who paddled the entire 300-mile Klamath River to become the first to descend the free-flowing river after the removal of four dams.

Doors open at 6 p.m. and the film screening begins at 7 p.m., in the Taylor-Meade Performing Arts Center on the Forest Grove campus. A moderated panel discussion will follow the screening. 

Tickets for the screening are free, but advance registration is required.
