Every Last Drop

A SHORT DOCUMENTARY FILM ABOUT ARIZONA’S WATER FUTURE.

PREMIERING IN-PERSON AT THE GILA VALLEY FILM FESTIVAL IN SAFFORD, AZ ON APRIL 21st, 2023 AT 6:30pm!

JOIN US AND THE SIERRA CLUB FOR OUR VIRTUAL DISCUSSION PANEL FEATURING PARTICIPANTS FROM THE FILM ON APRIL 27th AT 6:30pm!

Arizona is facing unprecedented water shortages in the Colorado River basin and must protect its own surface water like never before. Join former Arizona governor and US Secretary of Interior Bruce Babbitt along with a team of retired U.S. Forest Service employees and an environmental journalist as they sound the alarm about Pinto Creek, a rare river habitat in the arid desert that’s running dry.

A nearby copper mine is pumping water from this remote river valley, killing off rare riparian wildlife habitat and diverting copious amounts of natural mountain water away from the downstream Salt River system which provides water to Phoenix. With many tools at their disposal to protect Pinto Creek’s wildlife and water resource value, why is the federal government apparently failing to protect this gem in the desert?

PINTO CREEK AND OTHER INVALUABLE NATURAL WATER RESOURCES ARE BEING DRIED UP ON FEDERAL LAND ACROSS THE UNITED STATES…

Please join us on April 27th at 7pm PST via Zoom to hear from Craig and a panel of speakers featured in the film, to learn about Pinto Creek, why this rare perennial stream should be preserved at any cost, & what we can do about it!
