LECHE Y MIEL (MILK AND HONEY)

The Colorado River doesn’t just run through the southwest; it runs through our culture and nourishes our communities. This film profiles the Latino community of Yuma, Arizona, and how they are inherently tied to the health and sustainability of the river, and as we learn, the rest of us across the country are as well. For the people who work the fields, maintain the history of the region, or pray in the community church, the Colorado River represents not only their livelihood but provides a deep, spiritual connection too. We are all tied to these rivers, whether you play on them or not.
