Redbud is excited to announce our newest film, Wings of the Feather River; Memory & Renewal in Maidu Country.

The film follows a storytelling journey led by Maidu community members as they explore the cultural, environmental, and historical significance of the Feather River and reflect on the impacts of the Oroville Dam on the land and communities connected to it.

Through conversations with community leaders, reflections on place, and shared learning experiences, participants examine how the river continues to shape identity, responsibility, and community relationships.

This is a free, family friendly community event. Join us for the premiere and be part of the conversation. RSVP Here: https://tinyurl.com/filmrspv
