Overview

Never-before-seen historic footage brings to life the beginnings of conservation in Minnesota. Minnesota was at the forefront of conservation in the early 1900s U.S., and women played a key role. Historic images and interviews convey the impact of the Twin Cities' exploding population on the Mississippi River. Computer animation depicts the predicted results of one man's plan to flood the boundary waters region. Actors re-create the story of one prominent Minnesota conservationist who began his career promoting the destruction of wolves.
