The Water Talks to Me provides a close look at a traditional fishing community caught in the midst of change. Shot in the fishing port of Gloucester, Massachusetts, and on vessels in the North Atlantic, this half-hour documentary explores the impact of declining fish populations on the lives of two offshore fishermen, a father and son. Fisheries' scientists and federal managers are included in the interviews. The result is a multi-layered analysis of family and economics, environmental issues and politics. Narrated by Noah Adams of National Public Radio, The Water Talks to Me is well-suited for classroom use. The documentary's approach is simple and direct, making it accessible for a wide range of educational levels, from junior high through college

Aside from the technical details of reservoir site selection and the engineering virtuosity of dam and aqueduct construction, this film is concerned with putting contemporary circumstances into historical context and asks 'how did we get here?' Interviews with tribal members reveal the abiding sense of stewardship many feel is constitutive of their identity as Indian people not just 'from' this region, but profoundly 'of' it as well. Discussions with environmentalists demonstrate that beyond the passionate rhetoric, long-range priorities are essentially consistent with those of other interest groups, e.g., farmers, municipalities and even some industries dependent upon natural resources such as timber, tourism and commercial fisheries.
