HD video, DCP, color, stereo, 29:30 min, 2014

The Colorado River played a major role in the conquest of the American Southwest. Driven by economic growth, numerous irrigation projects have shaped the rivers course. Tracing the Colorado from where it serves as a Mexican-American border canal to where it forms the Grand Canyon, the camera travels upstream, framing the impact of water management on the political and emotional landscape.
