Troubled Waters:
Followed by a discussion
about the controversy at the University of
Minnesota over the showing of the film, led by
Loni Kemp.
Troubled Waters is a new documentary about the
Mississippi River, by the Emmy Award-winning
team that created Minnesota: A History of the
Land. Troubled Waters: A Mississippi River Story
traces the development of America's bountiful
agricultural heartland and its effect on the
legendary river. Through beautiful photography
and inspiring narrative, the film offers solutions to
the river's troubles through fresh ideas and
concrete solutions. The Root River watershed is
a part of this story.

The University of Minnesota’s Bell Museum of
Natural History produced the film over nearly four
years, telling the story of agriculture, pollution
and farming solutions to clean up the great river.
Learn about the turmoil caused at the University
of Minnesota when the film's scheduled premiere
and broadcast on Twin Cities Public Television
were abruptly cancelled and later reinstated.
