River Journey

Come in out of the rain on Sunday, May 15, and be inspired by the remarkable story of one woman's amazing journey. 2:00-3:30 p.m. Film screening and discussion with Marion Stoddart and others.


The Work of 1000 is a documentary about the parallel journey of two characters, one a young woman discouraged at her future as a suburban housewife, the other a river-once beautiful and teeming with wildlife-now a hopeless, toxic sludge pit.

Chronicling an important episode in U.S. environmental history, this inspirational story examines the humann side of acclaimed environmental pioneer Marion Stoddart.

Marion Stoddart proved that with vision and commitment, an 'ordinary' person can accomplish extraordinary things. This film reveals the secrets of her success and her methods for inspiring change.
