Film Tour: ‘First Descent: Kayaking the Klamath’
Watch the film | Meet the people | Connect with history in person
Join us with OPB producer Jessie Sears (Karuk) as we kick off our film tour for “First Descent: Kayaking the Klamath.”
In 2025, 28 Indigenous youth completed a 300-mile, 30-day river expedition, becoming the first to paddle the entire Klamath River from source to sea since four major dams were removed. An “Oregon Field Guide” special, “First Descent” brings you an inside look at this emotional, historic and triumphant journey.
This event is part of a series of community screening events happening across Oregon in 2026. Check back for information about future event dates and locations.
