EarthX Expo: Film Festival — Spotlight Screening

EarthxFilm 2019's Spotlight Screening, held during a "Green Carpet" Gala, will be Ben Masters’ The River and the Wall.

The film follows five friends on an immersive adventure through the unknown wilds of the Texas borderlands as they travel 1,200 miles from El Paso to the Gulf of Mexico on horses, mountain bikes and canoes. Inspired by the threat of new border wall construction, and what he saw as the urgency of documenting the last remaining wilderness in Texas, Masters recruited NatGeo Explorer Filipe DeAndrade, ornithologist Heather Mackey, river guide Austin Alvarado and conservationist Jay Kleberg to join him on the two-and-a-half-month journey down the U.S.-Mexico border.

Tickets to be available for purchase soon.
