Gila River

In 2014, three teenagers were researching the effects of fire on forest health as part of preserving the Gila River. Michael Sebastian Mahl, Ella Sala Myers, and Ella Jaz Kirk took to the skies in a private plane to observe a burn scar. But the plane crashed upon landing and all three were killed. A new film focuses on the grieving mothers of those teens, who kayak down their children’s beloved river. New Mexico Wild will screen Journey Down the Gila on Wednesday at the South Broadway Cultural Center.
