i asked redford why he chose to focus on the colorado river. ch provides much of the american west with water. >> i made a documentary about the colorado river when i found out the colorado river, which is an iconic trademark of america doesn't reach its destination, doesn't reach the sea of cortez. a lot of people didn't know that. they didn't know why. seven states use that one water source. when you add things like golf courses and second-home development and all that stuff plus the fact that people need the water to survive, it is a weight. i thought it would be good to do a documentary that illustrates what the deal is. so that is why i did it. >> i want to turn to a clip that is on one of your websites about the colorado river. it is a kind of conversation between you and will ferrell. >> that was supposed to be funny. >> ok. let's of the audience judge. >> the colorado river is one of the most loved and hardest working rivers in the world. but we have overused it. most years, the river dries up even before it reaches the sea. i adding jus

they were the same reason that the lincoln highway in the 1920s had shunned colorado. and now the planners of the federal interstate system planning the biggest public works project in human history were planning to shun the colorado high country, too. so once again, we see that there was nothing natural nothing historically inevitable about an interstate highway through the high country. and in fact, we see that all historical press debt weighcedent weighed against it. now, once again i should mention here it was more than just simple topography that caused federal interstate planners to reject the idea of an interstate going all the way through colorado. to be really honest, post-war highway engineers weren't really daunted by any topography at all. they were full of sort of a hub hubristic belief. there were even promoosals at one point to use nuclear detonations to clear mountains away that were in the way of an interstate in california. so these were not people who were daunted by topography. but in this case, they calculated, they were engineers, and they calculat
