Itinerary:

This is a really cool hour-long documentary movie about the Chattahoochee River made by two guys who are the sons of a gentleman I go to church with. They are big-time outdoor enthusiasts and travel the world doing film and photo shoots.

A lot of us in the AOC use and care about the 'hooche. This is a look at the management of that resource.

From the vimeo.com website:

David and Michael Hanson's award-winning documentary covers the epic battle Georgia, Alabama and Florida are locked in over the fresh water from their once bountiful rivers.

They call it the "Water Wars." It's a conflict once unthinkable in the deep green South.

But is it all about high-stakes politics and legal action?

Two brothers decide to find out more and paddle the Chattahoochee, Flint, and Apalachicola for 30 days to ask the big questions, at water-level.

Along the way they meet meet colorful river friends and witness the competing interests of agricuiture, industry, and development for the river's precious water.

Here's a link to the trailer:
