The Southwest Center is proud to co-present with The Loft Cinema and the Northern Jaguar Project the special advance screening of The American Southwest, featuring a post-film Q&A with special guests including the film’s producer/cinematographer Ryan Olinger!
The American Southwest is a family-friendly wildlife movie that takes viewers on an unforgettable journey down the mighty Colorado River. Narrated by Indigenous environmentalist Quannah Chasinghorse, the film beautifully showcases the abundant wildlife of the region, confronts the ecological impacts of dams and water overuse, and boldly advocates for better management of water and wildlife. Made in association with Natives Outdoors, the movie is told through the perspectives of some of the Southwest’s most charming characters … such as industrious beavers, bugling bull elk, and soaring condors. Between its legendary landscapes and fascinating wildlife, The American Southwest, from acclaimed filmmaker Ben Masters (Unbranded, The River and the Wall, Deep in the Heart) aims to endear millions of people to better cherish, love, and conserve this unique region. (Dir. by Ben Masters, 2025, USA, 107 mins., Rated G).
