Droughtland (NR)

synopsis

Severe, life-altering drought conditions face farmers, ranchers and residents living in southeastern Colorado. This 45-minute documentary focuses on the devastating conditions, described by many as being worse than the dust bowl era of the 1930's. Long-time residents who depend on water now question their futures. Hear about the under-publicized issue in an area one rancher describes as "the other Colorado." And learn about the ramifications of what drought means to families and an entire region in the Rocky Mountain west.
