Throughout its life, the St. Joseph River has always attracted and sustained life. From furs and food to transportation, power, and recreation the river serves a central role in the lives of those who call its banks home.  To this day, its waters provide for Native People. In the past, those waters attracted global powers to the region and later, powered the industries that built the cities of today. However, rapid industrialization and population growth took a toll on the river during the 19th and 20th centuries, altering its flow and polluting its waters. Today, however, the river is undergoing an astonishing transformation. Its waters are cleaner, and it serves as a point of pride for its communities, inspiring new development and recreational opportunities. We hope this documentary will accelerate this renewed appreciation for the St. Joseph River and inspire people to care for it for future generations.
