FBR to show new documentary about the Driftless Region
The Friends of the Black River invites the public to a viewing of “Decoding the Driftless.” The movie will be shown Tuesday, Dec. 4, beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the Black River Falls Middle School’s Large Group Instruction Room.
Decoding the Driftless is the second documentary about the special geological features of the Coulee Region produced by Emmy-award winning filmmakers George Howe, Tim Jacobson, Rob Nelson and Neil Rettig.
The producers have teamed up with Swedish filmmaker, Jonas Stenstrom of Untamed Science, to capture footage of the region and weave it into a compelling story.
The film takes viewers on a journey of exploration over and below the terrain as well as ground level of the bluffs and coulees of western Wisconsin, eastern Minnesota and eastern Iowa.
Footage soars over ancient rugged bluffs, skims the surface of primordial rivers, ventures deep underground to mysterious secret worlds, explores sacred archeological treasures and hangs perilously over massive rock cliffs.
Admission is $10 per person and the evening includes a social with refreshments before the movie presentation beginning at 6 p.m.
