This film was commissioned by the United States Congress to support federal legislation that would restore the Missisquoi River to its natural, free-flowing state. The work sits at the intersection of environmental documentary, government advocacy, and community storytelling.
When the future of the Missisquoi River came before Congress, it arrived in the form of a film. A century of dams and diversions had changed the river's course in ways that couldn't be reversed without political will. This film gave the river a voice by building a visual case strong enough to move federal policy, uniting riverside communities around a shared vision that had been in the making for over a decade.
Some films entertain. Some literally change the course of history. If you have a cause worth fighting for, let's build something that moves people to act.
