Full Plot Details

Water's journey from streams entering Lake Superior to the mouth of the Saint Lawrence Seaway takes 350 years. The narration establishes the importance of the Great Lakes for the U.S. and Canada's fresh water. Then, for each of the Great Lakes, plus Lake St. Clair, the film focuses on specific environmental problems: lamprey eels in Lake Superior, heavy metals in Lake Michigan, zebra mussels in Lake Huron, petrochemical waste in Lake Erie, and toxic waste dumps near Lake Ontario all degrade human and animal health. The film argues that governments and industry turn a blind eye to needed clean up and regulation, putting plants, fish, birds, and humans at risk.

Movie Reviews

Toronto Star - 8/10 by Peter HowellThe veteran Canuck documentarian tours the five lakes -- Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario -- and reflects upon a sad litany of abuses that man and nature have inflicted upon this fragile fluidity.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzAn informative no-nonsense educational nature film about the future state of the deteriorating Great Lakes.
Globe and Mail - 5/10 by Liam LaceyThis threat shouldn't require any overselling, but McMahon can't resist and you seriously wish the script had gone through another level of filtration to take out more of the lumpy bits (and the excess of musical selections).
User Review - 8/10 by Buggy BA documentary examining the Great Lakes elaborate ecosystem and the threat posed by climate change and pollution (hello Detroit). Hmmm why do 50% of beluga whales have cancer? Lets go back along the food chain and up the river to find out. Lets get horrified, scared and depressed by what we see. Some beautiful scenery but mostly this depressed the hell out of me. Why am I even bothering to recycle my meager tin cans when big companies are devastating the land and water and places like Chicago are still pumping their sewage into the waterways (you can't even touch the water there) Frustrating and well done documentary with some cool little graphics of carcinogens floating about and explained in a Jurassic Park (carton) sort of way. 08.13
User Review - 6/10 by Gregory FFollow the journey and tribulations of water through this last great fresh water resource, and see the tragic accidents of history as well as a reflection of how man is too dumb to know what's good for them.
User Review - 4/10 by murrrrrrrrsWas excited to watch this one and the first chunk of it is encouraging but it inevitably descends into a repetitive litany of environmental catastrophes (not in a good way)
User Review - 4/10 by Raelene Lquite boring, and i hated that the maps weren't labelled.
