3pm: Water's Journey - The River Returns
Utilizing some unusual views high above and deep within the earth, a team of intrepid explorers completely immerses themselves in the mechanics of a river system on a quest to define the nature and source of its powerful flow. Their adventures reveal the stunning beauty of a wild and scenic land and the difficult issues facing the populace as they grapple with the reality of inevitable growth.
As humankind comes perilously close to out-pacing our true understanding of these renewable resources, the challenge lies in learning how to co-exist with our rivers, while building a better understanding of how our lives are intertwined in this great natural cycle of water.
The River Returns inspires hope that the great watersheds of our planet can be saved, and that environmental protection and sustainable growth can coexist in a new paradigm of cooperation.
