Join us for the World Premiere of Journey to the Sun. The film is a feature documentary exploring the remarkable history, engineering, and human drama behind Going-to-the-Sun Road—one of America's most celebrated mountain highways cutting through the heart of Glacier National Park. Filmmakers Logan and Jordan Lefler, born and raised on the Flathead Indian Reservation, bring an intimate Montana perspective to this story, drawing on their lifelong relationship with Glacier and deep respect for the land and its legacy.

This premiere is more than a screening—it's a fully immersive community celebration designed to bring the story of the road to life:

• Pre-show lobby experience showcasing behind-the-scenes photography and stories from production, highlighting the Montana artists who contributed to the film
• World premiere screening of Journey to the Sun
• Live Q&A with filmmakers Logan and Jordan Lefler
• Live performance by Montana bluegrass band Saint of Soldiers, featuring music from the film's score
• Exclusive merchandise including premiere-night Journey to the Sun items and Glacier National Park Conservancy Going-to-the-Sun Road products, with opportunities to support both the film and the Conservancy

The Glacier National Park Conservancy has been instrumental in bringing this evening together, ensuring the premiere honors both the road's significance and those who preserve it. Ticket proceeds directly support the Conservancy's mission to protect and preserve Glacier National Park for future generations.
Whether you're passionate about Glacier, committed to conservation, or simply drawn to powerful storytelling, this premiere offers a meaningful opportunity to connect with a place cherished by so many. Join us for an unforgettable evening.

Deep in the heart of Montana's Glacier National Park lies one of America's most spectacular and perilous roads—a 51-mile ribbon of asphalt that defies nature itself. The Going-to-the-Sun Road is where breathtaking beauty meets life-or-death determination, where ancient Native American wisdom collides with modern engineering ambition, and where the future of our wilderness hangs in the balance.

Every spring, as winter's merciless grip finally loosens, an extraordinary battle begins. Fearless plow crews armed with massive machines venture into avalanche zones and towering snow walls, risking everything to resurrect this vital lifeline. Their mission: to carve through nature's frozen fortress and reconnect humanity with one of Earth's last pristine sanctuaries. But this isn't just about clearing snow—it's about preserving a legacy that's rapidly disappearing before our eyes.

Born from ancient trails and carved through impossible terrain in the 1930s, this engineering marvel was never supposed to exist. Yet here it stands, a testament to human ingenuity and an increasingly fragile bridge between civilization and the untamed wild. As climate change accelerates and glaciers vanish at an alarming rate, the road faces its greatest challenge yet. The very landscape it was built to showcase is transforming, forcing us to confront an uncomfortable truth: we may be witnessing the end of an era.

Journey to the Sun takes you inside this high-stakes world where every season could be the last, where dedicated crews battle impossible odds, and where the soul of America's wilderness is tested like never before. This is the untold story of the people who risk everything to keep our connection to the wild alive—and the race against time to preserve it for future generations.
