Colorado River - I Am Red

The Colorado River is a lifeline in the desert, its water sustaining tens of millions of people in seven states, as well as endangered fish and wildlife. However, demand on the river's water now exceeds its supply, leaving the river so over-tapped that it no longer flows to the sea. (Video by Pete McBride. Flights by Lighthawk, Ecoflight.)

I am commenting again because I absolutely love this documentary. It is stunning and educational, I think most people don't even know how much they rely on the Colorado for their everyday lives and they need to know. This is a major thing that is going on and people need to do their part to help.

The Colorado river is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in the life

Just watched this video today in science class and half of the class was on the verge of tears 😢

My heart breaks every time I hear the river say: "I am tired."

[anthonyrenaud]

Man....that was touching for sure. Damn I feel like crying myself. I’ve seen it’s beauty and I’ve never really thought much about it, but I will visit her the next time I travel to Utah.

The best PSA ever made. Love every person who put their work and time and soul into this. The Colorado River needs us --

I have never once taken the time to write down the words of an ad before, but I did with this one. It's poetry: deeply affecting tragic poetry.

Pete McBride, filmmaker of this clip, rocks. The voiceover for the river is gorgeous.

Amazingly well done. We used this as a presentation for our local land trust, the Colorado Headwater's Land Trust. We are so blessed to have the headwaters of the Mighty Colorado in our County. I hope this raises awareness along the lines of the film Watershed. It is not too late people! It is not!

Watching my student's faces as we watched this video was stunning. They are thinking about water in a different way. Being near the Ohio River, we have plentiful water. This gives them a new perspective.

Thank you to Bob and Jamie Redford for helping to restore part of the Colorado Delta. PLEASE continue to help. She is beautiful.

oh... My tears when they said, "I am a few who no longer kisses the sea"

[Taprman]

I grew up and still live along the river in Colorado and this documentary made me cry

[bumblefuzz]

This river has survived for millions of years, but we have managed to damage it, possibly irrevocably, in a matter of decades. Somewhere along the way, as we strive to harness the planet for our own personal advancements and comfort, we have forgotten the most important fact...natural resources are finite.

This song brings tears to my eyes. It is so powerful 😮

[Preluding]

For some odd reason, I felt a real connection to this video.  Perhaps it was that I lived in Vegas and my family took me to Lake Mead.  I've seen this river's glory days and now it saddens me to see how much it has declined.  Everything, Everyone, Everywhere ends...
