Colin Stryker's award-winning documentary, River Ways, will play at the Olympia Film Festival at the Capitol Theater on Thursday, November 8 at 5:30 PM.

The film explores the lives of working people affected by the issue of whether to remove the Snake River dams in Eastern Washington. Combining interviews with careful everyday observation, “River Ways” takes us into the world of wheat farmers, fishermen, salmon advocates and more. What emerges is a complex portrait of an issue that reaches to the heart of the ideological differences that characterize and divide the Pacific Northwest.

The film will play at:

Thursday, November 8 at 5:30 PM Capitol Theater, 206 5th Ave SE, Olympia, WA

Colin Stryker, the director, will be present for Q&A.

What some viewers have said:

“...attention to detail and character are so rich and illuminating, so wholly unintrusive, that you find yourself lulled into something you weren't quite expecting.”

“[Colin Stryker has] a gift for finding the right people, getting them to say the right things, then drawing attention to what was said.”

“The ultimate environmental film.”
