Jim O'Donnell sets off from his childhood home in Pueblo, Colorado exploring the history, ecology, and commodification of Fountain Creek--challenging us to reexamine how we relate to the world around us and how we might break free to a brighter future.
Over the past two hundred years, society has taken what was once a sacred relationship with water and morphed rivers into trashed, overused commodities. Now, the rivers humans depend on may no longer be up to the task. Now what?
The Colorado's Fountain Creek is a waterway that lived through the worst of human interaction. It has been dammed, diverted, poisoned, reduced, and much more and yet, it has endured. Fountain Creek looks both to the past and the future for guidance and asks humans to rethink the relationship with the brooks, streams, creeks, and rivers that give us life.
