The Fight to save the river

Description

The Hudson River, the catalyst for the conservation movement of the 19th century and the environmental movement of the 20th, remains a focus of conflicting desires and competing demands. In this Bill Moyers program, Robert Boyle, author of The Hudson River: A Natural and Unnatural History; Hudson Riverkeeper John Cronin; folksinger Pete Seeger, founder of the Clearwater Foundation; Franny Reese, chair emeritus of Scenic Hudson; GE's apologist and former CEO Jack Welch; and others discuss both the long-running fight to rescue the Hudson from contamination and the far-reaching environmental legislation that has resulted from that struggle.
