Life on the Delaware
60 minutes. DVD.
This lyrical documentary will turn your view of the Delaware River on its head.

It is a travelogue in which the narrator shakes aside her own assumptions about this “working river” and brings viewers into the lives of some of the extraordinary individuals who have committed to making the Delaware a healthy waterway for the generations to come.
Nationally distributed by American Public Television.
