Georgia Public Broadcasting is pleased to join with the Chattahoochee Valley Libraries and other organizations to present a film screening of Saving the Chattahoochee: The Story of the Women Who Defended the River on Tuesday, April 16, 6:00pm in the Auditorium of the Columbus Public Library.
This remarkable documentary (which will be introduced by its director Hal Jacobs) tells the story of how a small group of dedicated Atlanta women worked over the course of 50 years to protect the Chattahoochee River and its watershed – the drinking water supply for more than five million people.
Admission is free. Reservations are recommended via this link.

- Author Sally Sierer Bethea, former director of the Chattahoochee Riverkeeper and author of Keeping the Chattahoochee: Reviving and Defending a Great Southern River. Copies of this book will be available for purchase at the event.
- Ashley Desensi, Columbus native and current Technical Program Specialist with the Chattahoochee Riverkeeper.
