About this movie

This powerful film odyssey across America explores the sea change in our national attitude from pride in big dams as engineering wonders to the growing awareness that our own future is bound to the life and health of our rivers.

Ratings and reviews

Yet another example of earth first, humans second. The fact that such a stupid crapumentary was even made is proof of what a sad state society is in.

This is a great representation of how our country and fisheries work. The word that comes to mind is dysfunctional. I wish I knew what I know now. not only do we try to choke out our resources but what we do have ends up over seas. I hope this is a spark to fire that brings change.

Droughts are perpetuated by mismanagement of our rivers by government and environmentalists. Dams are important for water storage, hydropower, and flood management.
