Set in Colorado, this compelling movie is uniquely applicable to New Mexico, where farmland is equally threatened by solar development while farms and ranches are struggling to stay in business.

Speaking from first-hand experience, our engaging panel will share a different way forward and showcase agrisolar solutions being implemented right here in New Mexico and Colorado. Bring your curiosity and questions for the Q&A!

Panelists:

Byron Kominek is featured in the film and will join us as the Executive Director of the Colorado Agrivoltaic Learning Center and owner of the country’s premier site for agrivoltaics: Jack’s Solar Garden.
Cameron Weber, Habitat Conservation Program Director for Rio Grande Return will talk about developing conservation solar designs for several community solar projects in New Mexico.
Ken Armijo, Principal R&D Systems Engineer and Scientist at Sandia National Laboratories will share about an innovative collaborative agrivoltaics research project at Rio Grande Community Farm in Los Ranchos.
Max Wade, Owner of Galloping Goat Grazing in Albuquerque will surprise you with his stories about solar grazing with goats.

Journey Down the Gila is the first full-length film that visually captures the beauty of the Gila River through the 37-mile river run through the Gila Wilderness. The documentary, directed by Albuquerque film maker, David Garcia, tells the story of three local, New Mexico teens, who died in service to the wild places they loved, their mothers’ trip down the river they sought to protect, and the struggle to keep the Gila flowing free.

Four years and multiple river trips in the making, Journey Down the Gila is a lush cinematic, river-level journey down one of America’s great natural treasures. This 90-minute documentary is a love letter to the Gila and a rallying call to protect it.

After the film, stay after for brief remarks from special guests and learn how you can support efforts to keep New Mexico’s last free-flowing river wild. The film is not available online or for purchase, so don’t miss this opportunity to experience it on the big screen!

This film screening will be hosted by NM Wild with support of Heart of the Gila.

Tickets are non-refundable and available exclusively online.
