This sweeping two-hour documentary from Detroit Public TV explores how the Great Lakes shaped America, suffered mightily from abuse and neglect, and were then reborn only to face new environmental challenges. Filmed in high-definition, Freshwater Seas tackles the question: What can we learn from the history of the Great Lakes to prevent disaster in the future?
Whether we have experienced the awe-inspiring waters in person, or merely as a familiar landmark on the map of the continent, all Americans have been enriched by the Great Lakes. This program tells why, and why we should care about their future.
