Bringing the Colorado River Delta Back to Life After 16 Dry Years

In the spring of 2014, for the first time in 16 years, water was released into the dry bed of the Colorado River Delta, and it reached all the way to the Sea of Cortez. But it didn't last for long.

Pete McBride, river advocates, and scientists were there to document the natural wonder of this historic event, as well as the pure joy this brought to Mexican communities who live on the Colorado Delta. This film is proof that nature isn't gone, it’s simply waiting for us to give it a chance.

"Delta Dawn" won the best short film award at the 2014 Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival.
