Join us for a free, public screening of The Lake at the Eccles Theatre on Monday, June 22nd. The Lake (2026)—winner of the Sundance Film Festival Award for Social Impact—follows key actors across science and policy working to save Great Salt Lake and save their home from an unprecedented environmental catastrophe.
Great Salt Lake’s collapse will impact our local economy, ecosystems, powder skiing, way of life, and most importantly, the air 2.5M Americans breathe every day. But, saving Great Salt is not a risk. It is an incredible opportunity for Utah and the United States to invest into our future and became the first community and country to restore their saline lake.
Park City Community Foundation is honored to support Grow the Flow and this accessible opportunity for community members to learn why we must restore Great Salt Lake and what they can do to make a difference.
About The Film
The Lake (2026)—winner of the Sundance Film Festival Award for Social Impact—follows key actors across science and policy working to save Great Salt Lake and save their home from an unprecedented environmental catastrophe. Urgency emanates from this sober record that local Utah filmmaker Abby Ellis logs in human history — a chapter of monumental ecological and social consequence unfolding in our shared home. Intertwining the inextricable fates of the Great Salt Lake and the millions of people who live, work, and travel surrounding it, Ellis achieves an existential scope that is both terrifying and motivating, wrought with divinity and doom.
