Mountain River The Esopus Creek Headwaters to HudsonOn Friday, December 4, at 7 p.m., Tobe Carey will take to Zoom to introduce three cuts from his latest documentary, Mountain River: The Esopus Creek, Headwaters to the Hudson.

This feature-length film follows the Esopus Creek from its headwaters on Slide Mountain in New York’s Catskill Mountains, to the Ashokan Reservoir and on to the Hudson River at Saugerties, NY.

The narrative is supported by interviews with New York State experts and historians. In addition there is a sound track featuring the music of Tim Kapeluck, Jay Ungar and Molly Mason, Evan Pritchard and Artie Traum.
