“Journey Down the Gila” is a film exploring grief, renewal and hope along the Gila River in New Mexico. This documentary tells the story of three New Mexico teens who died in service to the wild places they loved, their mothers’ journey down the wild river they sought to protect, and the struggle to keep the Gila free forever. The film also culminates with a trip the three mothers made to Washington D.C. to advocate for federal legislation to protect the Gila River as Wild and Scenic. This feature-length, 90-minute film is directed by Albuquerque filmmaker David Garcia.
