Following the tragic Guadalupe flood, a coalition of landowners, volunteers, and organizations launched a bold effort to restore their cherished river. “Hope for the Guadalupe” bears witness to the heartbreaking disaster and showcases the conservationists working to replant native trees, spread grasses and forbs, and bring peace and beauty to a beleaguered river.

We will be hosting benefit screenings with Q&As in Austin (5/12), Kerrville (5/14), San Antonio 5/15), Dallas (5/19), and Houston (5/21), with a live performance from at our Kerrville screening. Proceeds from the screening will benefit river restoration efforts. Additional community screenings will be announced soon, followed by a digital and broadcast release in June.

Arrest made over illegal dumping into the Trinity River.

Texas’ biggest illegal riverine dumping site in recent memory has finally gotten into the crosshairs of law enforcement following the arrest of a previously convicted felon in Dallas, whom complainants, including the Texas Rivers Protection Association, had been warning regulators about for months – others, for years.
