Teton Dam Disaster

On June 5, 1976, Eastern Idaho woke up to a dam collapse on the Teton River. This documentary revisits the warnings ignored, the wall of water that erased towns, and the lives forever changed. Through survivors’ voices and rare footage, it asks how this disaster happened and what it still teaches us about trust, power, and nature. It’s a human story of loss, accountability, and resilience.
