The Giant Cork: Flaming Gorge 60 years later...

It was called "The Giant Cork" by the Bureau of Reclamation and "Proper Management" by JFK. But sixty years after the Flaming Gorge Dam was finished, I went back to ask the only question that matters: Was it worth it? In this film, we look at the legacy of the 1964 dedication of the Flaming Gorge. Using archival footage from the era of industrial optimism and comparing it to the quiet, surreal beauty of the Gorge today, I explore the tension between human progress and the ancient soul of the Green River. Is the river still there? Or did we trade an eon of history for a few decades of power? Join me as a witness to the trade-offs of the American West.
