The award-winning film “A River Out of Time” comes to the Moab Music Festival to kick off this water-themed season. In 1869, a small group of surveyors led by John Wesley Powell set out to map the unknown extent of the Colorado River Basin. 150 years later, this documentary follows a diverse team of whitewater enthusiasts, educators, scientists, and artists as they set out to raft in Powell’s footsteps in an effort to reevaluate his legacy, absorb the unquantifiable power of place, and articulate what the future may hold for water in the American West. Released in 2022, it is the winner of the Paddling Film Festival 2022 People’s Choice Award and the Durango Independent Film Festival 2022 Audience Choice for Best Adventure Film.
