Sacramento -At Current Speed

Making a movie is kind of like rowing against an upstream wind. Progress is slow, but the end is in sight.  We hope we did the Sacramento justice, and that you enjoy this trailer as much as we enjoyed making it.
Look for a feature length documentary

25 mile upstream wind does not deter these knuckleheads. We crawl by the southern suburbs of Sacramento dodging yachts and jet skis. All we see are levees and sometimes the roof peak of.a rooftop Camped with a beaver and an osprey.
From here on out it is basically a row across a tidal lake. Our problem is finding the sweet spot where we are on a slack or low tide before the winds come up. Today we pass the proposed location of the controversial Delta Tunnels or .mWater Fix project. Friend Tom Meagher taught us how to get in a fight down here, Tunnels vs. levees.
