A FIVE-PART UNIQUELY NEW MEXICAN DOCUMENTARY EXPERIENCE
FEATURING Q&A with BILL ZEEDYK, FILMMAKERS, and SURPRISE GUESTS

Part biography, part how-to, New Mexico’s own “Water Wizard” Bill Zeedyk (and his proteges and allies) illustrate a proven toolbox of simple low-tech, low-cost methods to restore degraded lands.  They work with Nature, rather than against her, to gird against the extremes of drought and flood while fostering climate resiliency. 

Each episode is guided by a different host (along with Zeedyk), in a different location while highlighting different treatment methods. While each episode builds upon the prior, each can stand alone. Inspirational and practical, they gift to the viewer practices that can be taken right out of the theater and into their own landscapes.

Each episode screens once for five consecutive Wednesdays, starting September 11.
