Big Muddy Speaker Series presents:

Film Screening hosted by Missouri River Relief on Tuesday, December 9, 2014 at RagTag Cinema in Columbia, MO

• Intro (via Skype) by “Love Your Big Muddy Expedition” paddler Janet Moreland
• Followed by Q&A with Scott (also via Skype)
• This film can now be screened FREE on vimeo here –

Scott Mestrezat filmed his entire journey as the first stand up paddleboarder to travel the entire Missouri River. We will be one of the first audiences to see the final result - this inspiring and beautiful film of an amazing river trip.

In 2013, Scott quit his job, built a wooden stand up paddleboard, and then paddled the entire Missouri River. From Three Forks, MT, through the string of massive lakes, then down to the Confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi River, Scott finished his journey below the St. Louis Arch.

The Missouri River Relief crew got to rendezvous with Scott and fellow river expeditioner Janet Moreland near Plattsmouth, NE, on our way to a river clean-up in Omaha. photo courtesy of Scott Meztrezat.

Scott joined us via Skype, and the film was introduced by Colombia's own Janet Moreland, featured in the film, who became the first woman to solo paddle the entire Missouri/Mississippi River Source to Sea in 2013.

Our gratitude to RagTag for welcoming us and donating their space for this fundraising event!
