Summary

A waterway of ethereal beauty and vast commercial utility, the Hudson River has been both a medium for communing with nature and a convenient sewer for industrial waste. Over the course of this two-part series, Bill Moyers explores the dramatic history, complex ecology, profound natural beauty, and far-reaching legacy of the nation's conflict between its deep love of nature and its relentless desire for development. Archival film, photos, paintings, engravings, journal entries, book excerpts, and breathtaking location footage illustrate the many faces of the Hudson while historians, environmentalists, and others explain how colliding agendas have combined to shape the story of America's first river
