Sunset River Film Series

 

Join Friends of the Presumpscot at 89 Conant Street in Westbrook, ME, for a family friendly outdoor movie night, and then settle in for some fun river-film entertainment. First we will be showing SUPER SALMON, a short documentary, and then our feature film will be WHERE THE RIVERS FLOW NORTH— In 1927, in Kingdom County, Vermont, a large dam is to be built, however, Noel Lord, a logger and cedar-oil harvester, won't give up his lifetime lease on land that will be flooded. The dam company increases its offer of cash, but Noel refuses. He asks for a trade: a stand of pines for his lease. The company rejects that deal, but offers to make Noel a Ranger in a new park. Noel, meanwhile, talks with his Indian mate, the spirited Bangor, about their moving to Oregon and buying a saw mill. She wants him to take the company's money, but he's pig-headed. Is Noel headed for confrontation with the company and the law, or can Bangor prevail to affect a truce?
