Exploring the iconic but endangered New Mexico stretch of the Rio Grande in a time of climate change and amidst calls for environmental justice.
Through lyrical imagery and in-depth interviews with a diverse range of residents-Native, Latinx, Indo-Hispanic and Anglo-this visually poetic documentary reveals the once-mighty river's role as a lifeline in the desert and asks whether the keys to a more sustainable, equitable future lie in New Mexico's ancient past.
