DESCRIPTION:“Return of the River” is a film about the largest dam removal project 
 in the history of the United States, and the extraordinary effort to 
 restore an eco-system and set a river free. But it doesn’t stop 
 there.\n\nThe film reveals a clash of values around a natural resources. To 
 the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, the river is a source of life and abundant 
 salmon, central to the tribe's culture and economy. New settlers to the 
 Olympic Peninsula see the river as a source of electric power, essential 
 for industry. \n\nEarly proponents of dam removal were told that the idea 
 was ‘crazy.’ The film follows the complex journey from ‘crazy idea’ 
 to community consensus to celebrated success story and the return of the 
 river. In that respect, the film is also a case study of how change 
 happens.\n\nThe public is invited to a free screening of “Return of the 
 River” on Saturday, July 9, 1:30 p.m., at Niles Discovery Church, 36600 
 Niles Blvd., Fremont. A discussion led by Peter Starr, a habitat biologist 
 who was worked on the Elwah River, will follow the screening.\n\n“This is 
 a film about possibility,” said the Rev. Jeffrey Spencer, Senior Pastor 
 at Niles Discovery Church, “for people and the planet.”\n\nIn the words 
 of Senator Bill Bradley onscreen, “Here, in the success of our collective 
 action on the Elwha, is a template for success on climate change … and 
 hundreds of other issues. It will be the great gift of the Elwha: 
 Hope.”\n\nThe Second Saturday Documentary Series is co-sponsored by Niles 
 Discovery Church and the San Jose Peace & Justice Center. This screening is 
 co-sponsored by the Alameda Creek Alliance, Tri-City Ecology, and the 
 League of Women Voters of Fremont, Newark, and Union City.\n
