The Story of the American River

Where natural history and human history intertwine

THE STORY OF THE AMERICAN RIVER is a feature-length documentary following the stories of the American River from source to its lower reach, through the intertwining lenses of natural and human history. These are the real narratives of the West –  the people and wildlife that have touched its waters and swam its winding gorges and corridors that lead to the urban confluence with the Sacramento River.

These are the stories of The American River and of our ways of living with this lifeblood of the West.
