ABOUT THE FILM: In 2016, American Rivers listed the Merrimack River as one of America’s ten most endangered rivers. The Merrimack explores why it’s endangered as well as its human and natural history. The river flows through some of region’s biggest cities – Lowell, Lawrence, Manchester – but it’s watershed still contains some wild, intact open spaces.  The film features stunning footage from the river’s headwaters in the White Mountains to its mouth at the beaches in Newburyport and Salisbury, Massachusetts.

Q&A to follow the film (less than an hour long): We will be joined by the film’s director, Jerry Monkman, and Brian Hotz, VP of Land Conservation at the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests.

Please note: Chat room will open up at 6:30, film will start at 7pm.
