Port Lecture Series Special Event: Taming the Mouth Documentary
The Port of Vancouver USA Lecture Series is making a special return this September for a night at the Kiggins Theatre!
Join us Wednesday, September 23 for a free screening of Taming the Mouth, a new documentary exploring the power of the Columbia River and the extraordinary story of the jetties that enabled safe passage to the Pacific Ocean.
The Port of Vancouver USA was proud to participate in the documentary and help bring a local perspective to this remarkable story.
Following the screening, we’ll host a Q&A with director Brett Eichenberger, the port's Chief Commercial Officer Alex Strogen who appears in the film and other invited participants to share more about the making of the film and answer your questions.
