From the serene headwaters in the Blue Ridge Mountains to the white water at the Fall Line in Richmond, Virginia, HEADWATERS DOWN shares the story of the James River as told through the eyes of five friends paddling its length. Once the most polluted waterway in America, the James River has been transformed into a symbol of resilience and a testament to the incredible progress we can achieve when we focus on revitalizing our natural treasures instead of commoditizing them.
