Join us in the Robert and Ann Hachtel Theater for the PBS Delta College Media's Breached - The Tittabawassee River Disaster, Pt. 2: The Recovery.

On May 19, 2020, two dams on the Tittabawassee River system breached after the area received several inches of rain. Wixom and Sanford lakes essentially emptied in just a matter of hours. Amazingly, no lives were lost, but thousands felt the impact as their homes and businesses were heavily damaged or destroyed.


In Delta College Public Media’s 2020 documentary, BREACHED! The Tittabawassee River Disaster, producers Ron Beacom and Bob Przybylski explored the immediate aftermath of this catastrophe and told the stories of the people trying to put their lives and communities back together. One year later, see where they are now.

BREACHED!! The Tittabawassee River Disaster, Pt. 2: The Recovery looks at efforts to pick up the pieces, to help people recover both emotionally and physically, and for the community to move forward.
