Creative Frontline
Rushing Waters
Creative Frontline with filmmaker Robert Lundahl and Tracker Ginamarie Rangel Quinones will be moving to 4 PM on Monday Sept. 30, and expand to one hour
Rushing waters plunging off the Sierra Nevada from Yosemite form the Walker River, plummeting across state lines into Nevada and Walker lake.
It is a terminus or sink with no outlet. Where do the waters go?

Underground and onward down the Amargosa, under Las Vegas, down the Colorado toward the Gulf of California between Baja California and the rest of Mexico.
This Underground River unites peoples and cultures through historical conflict, destruction of the environment, and escape.
Yet it is Nature's knowledge that gives us hope to realize a new future, through transformation, regeneration and perhaps reconciliation, music to the ears that never stops playing, a heart that never stops beating.
Downstream part one, with Matthew Leivas, Sr.
