The American Southwest

A River Ran Through It

The American Southwest is a breathtaking, feature-length natural history film narrated by Indigenous environmentalist Quannah Chasinghorse. Journey down the mighty Colorado River to explore the region’s stunning beauty and rich biodiversity—while confronting the harsh realities of environmental destruction caused by dams and the river’s uncertain future.
Through extraordinary, never-before-seen wildlife footage—from beavers restoring wetlands to condors rebounding from extinction and the possible return of jaguars to American soil—the film delivers a powerful call for conservation and renewed stewardship of the American Southwest’s iconic landscapes.
