The Bureau of Land Management is actively working on travel management plans for much of eastern and southern Utah’s incredible public lands, including the Henry Mountains and Dirty Devil area. RadioACTive talks with Laura Peterson and Steve Bloch of Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance on how to add your thoughts to the discussion. Public comment is due Oct. 26.

RadioACTive previews the Black Bold & Brilliant Queer BIPOC short film showcase coming up at the UQFF, as well as a new documentary about an artist you've never heard of but you've definitely heard.

  • Actor Alan Vazquez of Emerald City. Two lone hitchhikers, unknowingly connected by the secrets they carry, cross paths near the US/Mexico border where they develop a tentative friendship that gradually becomes more.

  • Director Alexis Spraic of The World According to Allee Willis. Songwriter/artist Allee Willis, best known for writing the “Friends” theme song, the Earth Wind & Fire mega-hit “September” and “The Color Purple” musical, began filming her life as a kid in 1950s Detroit and never stopped. 

  • Oct. 25-27:  @ Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center, 138 W. 300 S., SLC.
    Event by Utah Queer Film Festival: "A fantastic weekend of LGBTQ+ creativity, ideas, and art explored through dramatic and documentary films from around the world. The Mountain West’s longest-running queer film festival, UQFF (formerly Damn These Heels) offers a lineup of full-length international and independent films, collections of short films, community collaborations, and post-film discussions. Powered by Utah Film Center." For lineup and tickets, click here. 

Born in Beijing, Alvin Hailin is coming to Utah with The Dissident Project to speak with students about speaking truth to power. While in high school, he learned to secretly use a VPN to access the Internet beyond the Great Firewall. This allowed him to discover facts hidden by the Chinese government and understand freedom and democracy through observing Taiwanese elections.

  • The Dissident Project is a speakers bureau that amplifies the voices of U.S. immigrants who survived tyrannical regimes.
