Cultural Event: Watershed Film at ACFF

During the American Conservation Film Festival I went to go see Watershed, a film discussing issues about problems in the Colorado River Valley. Robert Redford narrates and executive produces this documentary. During the film it really helped me think about our own issues of watershed all over the country and how we have to really think about what we do to the environment. When it showcased all the effects the Colorado River Valley was facing I truly felt like it was something poignant and well worth the time sitting through and learning about what is happening over there.

That being the major issue with water is that it isn't really a renewable resource. It takes a good while to cleanse water of impurities or a great deal of chemicals. With all sorts of pollution popping up all over the world it truly makes it a difficult task without several thousands of people working simultaneously together in order to achieve a goal such as this. Walking away from the film after I truly wanted to learn more about what could be done and luckily they had great resources on their website that would help towards pointing others in the right direction.
