Resilience Rising: Echoes of Owyhee

In the corner of Oregon balancing the border of Idaho, nestled among the rugged terrain of the Owyhee Canyonlands, a group of five black leaders embarked on a journey that would not only deepen their understanding of the environment but also ignite a fervor for both environmental advocacy and racial justice. As they traversed the untouched landscapes, each step echoed with the weight of history and the urgency of the present. Inspired by their experiences in the Owyhee Canyonlands, the group made a pact to become advocates for both the environment and the cause of racial justice.

Directed by Chad Brown.

Screening followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers and more information about how to help Oregon Senator Ron Wyden’s plan to protect the region by designating it as a National Monument.
