- What is Run Wild Run Free: 50 years of Wild and Scenic Rivers about?
- Run Wild Run Free takes the viewer through history to the present of Wild and Scenic as told through experts, grassroots organizers, white water enthusiasts, and members of the Nez Perce tribe in Idaho. Over 60 years ago America was in the peak of the industrial revolution and the nations waterways were dying from dams, water diversions and pollution. The plight of America’s rivers caught the attention of twin brothers and renowned wildlife biologists John and Frank Craighead after witnessing the demise of their childhood river the Potomac in Maryland and after hearing of dam proposals on Montana’s most wild river where they were studying grizzly bears on the verge of extinction, they knew something must be done as the titans of industry pushed west. The brothers drafted a river classification system with the hope to protect what remained of wild rivers.
