Chasing Water
USA, 2011, 19 min.
Directors: Peter McBride
Producers: Peter McBride
Photojournalist and Colorado native Peter McBride sets out to document the flow of the Colorado River from source to sea. His simple desire is to find out where the irrigation water of his youth went after his ranching family used it, and how long it took the water to reach the ocean. Writer John Waterman joins McBride on this 1,500-mile journey, one that shows how the thirst of the 30 million that the Colorado supports takes an unhealthy toll.
