Synopsis:
IN THE same breath, the San Joaquin River has been called both the hardest-working river in America and the most abused. Join us as we travel from the source of the San Joaquin River near Yosemite National Park to its eventual merging with San Francisco Bay 350 miles down river. We’ll discover a river that carried an armada of steamships and provided safe haven for thousands of spawning salmon — a river that has since been turned into a perpetual desert, not just once but in two separate sections of the original river channel. Most of all we’ll learn what it means to bring a once-dead river back to life. As farmer and river enthusiast Walt Shubin likes to say, "Hang on – here we go!"
