My Wife and I stumbled upon this documentary last night (its first airing) on KET and found it to be wonderful. The scenery was breathtaking, sound track was all Dave Matthews, and it had a good message on the conservation and history of the colorado river. Especially the lessons we have failed to learn from the Anasazi (?) indians and their past civilization in the area. It's worth checking out. The photographer/narrator could be a cool guest speaker for a future NPFF???J

Caught it at the IMAX in Louisville this summer. Enjoyed it, but it seemed short and fluffy.
Great footage and message, definitly worth seeing.

I strumbled across this show while channel surfing last nite too--
It was a great lil show to happen upon - Missed the beginning though -
Thanks for posting the Re-aire times so I can see what I missed --

And I agree == This guy could be a possible Guest Speaker for an NPFF in the future

Caught this @ Museum Center IMAX this summer.. wanted to dive right through the screen. Can't say enough about this! If you haven't seen it- watch it.

Why does KET put the great stuff on in the middle of the night?

Wade Davis gave a lecture at UK about 10 years ago. he's done some very interesting work.
