The Hudson: A River at Risk

The Hudson River, like many waterways around the world, has long been treated like an infinite waste barrel, a dumping ground for toxic chemicals, hazardous waste and trash. But for the past fifty years an amazing collection of environmental groups – Riverkeeper, Scenic Hudson, Clearwater and many more – have worked to revive the Hudson and the beautiful Valley that surrounds it. “The Hudson: A River at Risk,” reports on a handful of serious and growing threats to the river. Meet some of the more interesting characters who have committed their lives to preserving the Hudson River and learn what you can do to make a difference. A panel discussion with the filmmaker and local activists will follow.
