THE RUSSIAN RIVER: ALL RIVERS - THE VALUE OF AN AMERICAN WATERSHED explores the diverse forces influencing the well-being of California's legendary Russian River watershed. The film covers the river's history, as a geological, biological and social entity, as well as the conflicts and challenges it currently faces to restore and retain its health, problems shared by rivers everywhere, especially in the Pacific Northwest. Expressing the profound beauty of the river and its ecosystem, the film provides the community which depends on the Russian River watershed, as well as other communities blessed with great river watersheds, with a balanced and engaging resource to stimulate interest in, and motivate action about water use, water quality and the loss of irreplaceable biodiversity.
