We then move into and learn more about the project:
Blood of the West is the story of the Colorado River from Source to Sea, from its origins in the glacier carved valleys of the Rocky Mountains, through the iconic canyons and sandstone playgrounds of the Colorado Plateau, to its terminus south of the Mexican-American Border, where its mighty flows are reduced to just a trickle.
Told in eight parts, this documentary project will follow each of the Colorado’s main tributaries, including the Green, San Juan, and Virgin Rivers, from their headwaters to their confluence. As it follows the rivers downstream, it will follow the history of the watershed, tackle its present struggles, and speculate toward its possible future.
