A River Called Home

“A River Called Home” follows the journey of four women who launch at the headwaters of the
James River in Virginia and paddle to the Chesapeake Bay. For three weeks, the team faces
challenges along the way, including whitewater rapids and a river with a history of pollution.
Along the way, the team conducts a water quality study, asking how our waterways are being
protected and what more we have left to do.
