Lost Rivers


This event includes a screening followed by a Q&A. Part of the series “Focus on Nature.”

Once upon a time, rivers flowed in almost every city, but we developed their banks and polluted their waters, making them conduits for disease. The only solution was to hide them underground. Lost Rivers takes us around the globe to explore these hidden pieces of urban nature and meet the visionaries who are bringing them back to light. Featuring a stunning “daylighting” success story for the Saw Mill River in Yonkers! • Caroline Bâche. 2012. 72 m. NR. Canada. Icarus Films.

Q&A Saw Mill River project facilitators Ann-Marie Mitroff (Groundwork Hudson Valley River Program Director) and Jim Pinto (former Yonkers Director of Waterfront Development), and Scenic Hudson President Ned Sullivan.
