Top Five Reasons to Stream The Last 100 Miles
To feast on the stunning visuals of the river canyon you love. Good movies allow an audience to resonate with scenes familiar and be thrilled by things they haven’t seen. So if you’ve never seen a bull elk climbing the hillside at Mack’s Canyon, or so many bighorn sheep just below Freebridge the angler in their midst seems bored by them, this is your chance. Of course if you have seen these things, and many other moments of Deschutes splendor, The Last 100 Miles is your chance to relive them from the comfort of your couch.
For the cogent explanation of what’s ailing the lower river—and what can be done immediately to fix it. Let’s be real, it can be hard to explain to those not in the know about what’s wrong with the lower Deschutes. The Last 100 Miles does the job as well as it can be done—here’s where to see and hear about the Selective Water Withdrawal Tower, and how its operation negatively affects water quality on the lower river. It’s also a succinct overview of the ways in which PGE continues to violate the public trust with status quo operations of its failing tower.
The passionate expertise: The observations, hopes and fears of expert guides, seasoned scientists and experienced anglers, with collective centuries of Deschutes River experiences to call on, are gathered in the film.
The music: Paul Chasman and friends got their band together to create the original score for The Last 100 Miles. Paul’s connection to the rivers of the Pacific Northwest come shining through in the music he created for the film.
For the inspiration: Whether you were lucky enough to experience The Last 100 Miles in the theater, or unlucky enough to have missed it until now, watch it again before the auction. The good reasons to keep fighting for the lower Deschutes are eloquently expressed, and worth sharing amongst the 300 or so friends you’ll hopefully be seeing this Saturday afternoon.
