A Land Between Rivers

A Land Between Rivers is a one-hour documentary that tells the story of central California between the San Joaquin and Kings Rivers. It is a story of transformation, where the nexus of land, water, and people seeking a better future have created the most productive agricultural region on earth. The program reveals the human and environmental sacrifices in the shadow of this success, and shows how issues of concern in times past remain relevant today as central California faces the future.

Narrated by Rita Moreno, and filmed in high definition, A Land Between Rivers uses aerials, archival stills, rare footage, and interviews with long time residents and historians to tell this unique story. Produced with the Fresno Historical Society.
