Requiem for a RiverRequiem for a River

REQUIEM FOR A RIVER explores the New Mexico stretch of the Rio Grande - an iconic but endangered American waterway - in a time of climate crisis and calls for environmental justice. Through lyrical imagery and in-depth interviews with a diverse range of residents - Native, Latinx, Indo-Hispanics and Anglo - the film reveals the once-mighty river's role as a lifeline in the desert and asks whether the keys to a more sustainable, equitable future lie in New Mexico's pre-American past.
