Restoring the Klamath River is the largest restoration project in American History. Nearly three hundred miles in length, flowing from southern Oregon to northern California, the vast communities of the Klamath River have been feuding over its water for generations, polluting both their river and their relationships. This award-winning documentary examines the complicated history of this conflict, and serves as a touchstone to think about local water issues in our own communities to create a historic water rights compromise for the good of all. (USA, 2015, 90 min., Unrated, DVD | Dir. Jason Atkinson & J. Martin)
