Journey to the Sun – Special Screening

Join us for a special screening of Journey to the Sun, followed by a talkback with the filmmakers Jordan and Logan Lefler, and moderated by Doug Mitchell, former director of the Glacier National Park Conservancy. ___________________________________________________ Deep in the heart of Montana’s Glacier National Park lies one of America’s most spectacular and perilous roads—a 51-mile ribbon of asphalt that defies nature itself. The Going-to-the-Sun Road is where breathtaking beauty meets life-or-death determination, where ancient Native American wisdom collides with modern engineering ambition, and where the future of our wilderness hangs in the balance. Every spring, as winter’s merciless grip finally loosens, an extraordinary battle begins. Fearless plow crews armed with massive machines venture into avalanche zones and towering snow walls, risking everything to resurrect this vital lifeline. Their mission: to carve through nature’s frozen fortress and reconnect humanity with one of Earth’s last pristine sanctuaries. But this isn’t just about clearing snow—it’s about preserving a legacy that’s rapidly disappearing before our eyes. Born from ancient trails and carved through impossible terrain in the 1930s, this engineering marvel was never supposed to exist. Yet here it stands, a testament to human ingenuity and an increasingly fragile bridge between civilization and the untamed wild. As climate change accelerates and glaciers vanish at an alarming rate, the road faces its greatest challenge yet. The very landscape it was built to showcase is transforming, forcing us to confront an uncomfortable truth: we may be witnessing the end of an era. Journey to the Sun takes you inside this high-stakes world where every season could be the last, where dedicated crews battle impossible odds, and where the soul of America’s wilderness is tested like never before. This is the untold story of the people who risk everything to keep our connection to the wild alive—and the race against time to preserve it for future generations. _____________________________________________________ Journey to the Sun is produced by Lefler Brothers Media in partnership with Glacier National Park Conservancy and supported by grants, support, and generous contributions from organizations and individual supporters.
