Watershed by Robert and Jamie Redford

Robert Redford has a new documentary, Watershed,  about the Colorado River system, which supplies water to most of the West, including Redford's ranch near Provo, Utah.  Narrated by Redford and produced by this 50-year old son, Jamie, a Marin County, CA - - based filmmaker.  Watershed tells the story of the Colorado's dwindling flows from the perspectives of a bike messenger, a rancher, and a fly-fisherman.

Engineering faces an enormous set of challenges this century.  Coming up with the right questions and answers will require collective action - - and collective funding.  We have a story to tell.  Our ability to engage in high quality storytelling, like Watershed, will be critical.
