RIVER TO THE HEART Screens This Weekend at Webster University

RIVER TO THE HEART directed by Eddy L. Harris screens this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights (July 6th, 7th, and 8th) at Webster University’s Moore Auditorium (470 East Lockwood) as part of its St. Louis Earth Day Film Series. The film begins each night at 7:30pm.

Former St. Louisan Eddy L. Harris is the author of the lauded travel book “Mississippi Solo” (1988), which chronicled his canoe trip down the length of the Mississippi River, from its headwaters in Minnesota to its terminus in the Gulf of Mexico. In “River to the Heart,” Harris retraces that journey as a 60-year-old, and the film explores what he discovered about both the country that was and the country that is. As he paddles the long miles, Harris contemplates the meaning of the river to the country and to the people who populate it. In the process, he meets and interviews representative folks along the way and tackles a wide range of topics.
