An Annual Tradition for River Lovers
Every year during Earth Month, MountainTrue brings the world’s best paddling films to Asheville. This isn’t just a film screening—it’s a gathering of our region’s river-loving community. We come together to witness epic adventures, explore stunning wild places through the lens of world-class filmmakers, and find renewed inspiration to protect the waterways that define our home in the Blue Ridge.
Join us for the 2026 World Tour
Experience a night of community and clean water inspiration. This year’s tour features a curated selection of films that will leave you fired up to get outside and take action for our rivers.
