Storyline

Quannah Chasinghorse , an adventurous journey down the Colorado River that explores the region's extraordinary wildlife, cultural history, and uncertain future. A wild and unforgettable journey down the mighty Colorado River narrated by Indigenous environmentalist Quannah Chasinghorse . the film beautifully showcases the region's abundant wildlife, confronts the ecological impacts of dams and river depletion, and boldly advocates for increased water and wildlife conservation. The Fin and Fur Films production travels through legendary landscapes from the viewpoint of some of the Southwest's most charming characters... such as wetland-building beavers, bugling bull elk, and desert-adapted rattlesnakes. Made in association with Natives Outdoors, The American Southwest highlights the region's deep cultural history and the crucial need to better manage the river for both wildlife and society to thrive. — Ryan Olinger
