The Colorado

Overview

A music-based documentary that explores the Colorado River Basin from social and ecological perspectives across history. Brief voiceover texts—narrated by the great Shakespearean actor Mark Rylance—lead the viewer into each of the film's nine sections. Contextual images along with lyrics—sung by the 2014 Grammy laureate Roomful of Teeth—explore topics ranging from prehistoric settlements of the region to present-day plight of the Colorado River Delta.
