After spending a decade working abroad as a photojournalist, Colorado native Pete McBride decided to focus on something closer to his home and his heart; The Colorado River which cuts through his backyard. Taking nearly three years, McBride followed the river source to sea on a personal journey to see exactly where the river goes and what becomes of the irrigation water that flows across his family's cattle ranch in central Colorado after it returns to the creek. Recruiting his father John as his principle pilot, McBride chose an aerial vantage to capture a unique and fresh view of the Colorado River Basin. He also partnered with Jon Waterman, an author who stayed stream level to paddle the entire length of the river. This short takes the viewer on a 1500 mile adventure downstream, from mountains to cities and through canyons and across shrinking reservoirs. For six million years the Colorado River flowed to the sea. Today, it runs dry some 90 miles shy of its historic terminus. This visual journey is both revealing and alarming as it highlights the state of the river and the southwest's drying future.
