Troubled Water Film Screening
July 19 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
$5
Join the Groundwork Center, For Love of Water, and Oil & Water Don’t Mix on Friday, July 19, at 7:30 p.m. at the Garden Theater in Frankfort for the highly anticipated Great Lakes adventure-conservation film Troubled Water. The screening will be followed by a question-and-answer session with actors and filmmakers William Wright and Chris Yahanda and the staff of the host organizations.
Troubled Water chronicles Wright and Yahanda, two Michiganders and life-long best friends, embarking on an epic 36-day, 425-mile journey on standup paddleboards to shed light on man-made threats to Michigan’s fresh water, including the decaying Enbridge Line 5 oil pipeline in the Straits of Mackinac.
Launching from Mackinac Island, the intrepid paddlers aim to propel themselves down the Lake Michigan coast and upstream through inland waters to the state capital to voice their concerns. Can they overcome the mounting fatigue from the wind, waves, and ever-changing weather to complete their quest? What ecological and life lessons will they learn along the way?
