Here, in the embrace of Mt. Timpanogos, Sundance Nature Alliance is inspiring residents and visitors to protect our natural world.
Documentary Screening and Q&A with Filmmaker Abby Ellis and Amy Redford
Presented in partnership with Sundance Mountain Resort
The Lake
An environmental nuclear bomb looms in Utah. Two intrepid scientists and a political insider race the clock to save their home from an unprecedented catastrophe.
As water levels of Great Salt Lake plummet, toxic dust storms from the exposed lakebed now endanger millions living along the Wasatch Front, while the lake's unique ecosystem and home to billions of migratory birds and other life, teeters on the edge of collapse.
Filmmaker Abby Ellis will introduce her film, take part in an audience Q&A moderated by Amy Redford, and connect with guests at the reception afterward.
