Presented by The Narwhal, the film follows Dr. Younes Alila, a professor of forest hydrology at the University of British Columbia, and two retired loggers as they travel through the Kettle River Watershed and unravel the science connecting industrial logging and the growing risk of flooding, landslides and drought across British Columbia. Interact with the filmmaker, Daniel Pierce, and the main subject of the film, Dr. Younes Alila, as well as a panel of local experts moderated by John Cathro RPF.  after the film. Chad Luke from Yaqan Nukiy will open the session.
