Movie Club: America’s First River

Emmy-winning journalist Bill Moyers explores the Hudson River’s 315-mile journey from the Adirondacks to New York Harbor, weaving together the region’s natural beauty, its influence on art and literature, and the industrial impact that shaped its history. Through the voices of those connected to the river, Moyers highlights efforts to restore this American Eden. Joining us is Howard Godel, President of Godel & Co. Fine Art.
