MUSSEL GRUBBING: A CITIZEN SCIENCE TREASURE HUNT
Following a citizen scientist's journey of discovery, the film explores the treasure hunt for finding freshwater mussels in the upper Sangamon River. Everyday people in Illinois are supporting science in ways that are important to the well-being of their local environment. Finding a diverse collection of healthy mussels means a healthy river, which in turn means healthy people in the community. The film also shows how people come together around these experiences to ensure a healthy community. "The goal of this film will be to demystify the overall process of scientific research,” said RiverWatch Director and Stream Ecologist Danelle Haake. “We also want to show that community science projects are for everyone and no experience in science is required to participate.”
I STILL REMAIN
I Still Remain is a film that inspects and explores the inner workings, insights and inspirations of a man driven and informed by his previous two fights with cancer. The first, as a teenager, the second, just two years removed.
