Film highlights Ventura River watershed and how it affects people

From the Ventura County Star:

Before water makes it way through the labyrinth of pipes and canals and dribbles out your tap, do you know from which river it originated? Or where it goes when it disappears down your drain? If not, you’re not alone. “I think the majority of people do not know where their water comes from,” said Paul Jenkin, a local environmentalist and occasional filmmaker.

Jenkin, along with photographer Rich Reid, are trying to educate people on water, watersheds and why people should care about them. The pair made a 30-minute movie, “Watershed Revolution,” which premiers Saturday in Ventura. The filmmakers look at the Ventura River, the issues affecting it and the people trying to help it.

They hope the movie highlights the delicate balance of living in the desert that is Southern California with decreasing water supplies. “We like to surround ourselves with green lawns and we live in a desert,” Reid said.
