During the 1990s, the Chattahoochee River was named the most endangered urban river in North America by American Rivers, a key conservation group. “Saving the Chattahoochee,” a new documentary by filmmaker Hal Jacobs, tells the story of the dedicated Atlanta women who fought to revive and protect the Chattahoochee River and its watershed.

Tune in on GPB-TV at 7:00 pm and 11:00 pm to celebrate the achievements and legacy of several Atlanta women who have defended the river over the last 50 years.

“Saving the Chattahoochee” is sponsored by Georgia Humanities.
