Augustana College will host a free screening on April 4 of “Moved by Waters,” a documentary about people and organizations in Iowa and Illinois working to improve water quality, according to a release shared this week.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring Steve Gustafson, representing Partners of Scott County Watersheds; Brittany McCall, professor of biology at Augustana who specializes in studying fish in freshwater systems; and Amy Kay, City of Davenport clean water manager.
The event is sponsored by Augustana’s Upper Mississippi Center and will be held at 7 p.m. in the Olin Auditorium, 820 38th St., Rock Island. The screening and discussion are both open to the public.
"Moved by Waters" was created by Emmy award-winning filmmakers Kelly and Tammy Rundle. It depicts projects by organizations, students, teachers, artists, farmers and volunteers of all ages aimed at improving water quality in the Quad-Cities region and the Upper Mississippi Watershed, the release said.
“The ‘Moved by Waters’ story is the opposite of the national narrative,” Kelly Rundle said on the website for Fourth Wall Films, the Moline-based production company behind the movie. “The national narrative tells us that Americans are too divided politically to work together on anything. The people we met and talked to while making this film showed us the opposite.”
The film has previously been screened at the Putnam Museum in Davenport.
