What the River Kept

What the River Kept

Arizona Made

A shrinking reservoir gives back a drowned town.

As a desert reservoir drops to its lowest level in a century, it gives back what it swallowed: a drowned town, a missing plane and a family's long-buried secret. A documentary about water, memory and what we owe the places we flood.
