Crying Earth Rise Up

This program documents efforts to protect one of earth’s most precious elements—water. Through characters who oppose and support the expansion of uranium mining over the High Plains/Ogallala (the largest fresh-water underground source in North America) and the Arikara aquifers in western South Dakota and Nebraska, audiences learn about the important and timely issue of preserving and protecting water before it becomes too late.
