 | 3 Rivers DVD A new 90-minute documentary from Russ Barbour and West Virginia Public Broadcasting, 3 Rivers explores the economic, environmental, cultural, historical and geographic impact of the largest federally protected system of rivers east of the Mississippi: the New, Bluestone and Gauley rivers.
3 Rivers examines the ongoing relationship between mankind and nature in this region. The film is a combination of travelogue, examination of efforts to improve the environment, and a mechanism for promoting economic growth through tourism.
Part of the film recounts the saga of the town of Lilly, where residents were forced to move to accommodate construction of the Bluestone Lake and Dam in the 1940s. Today, descendents of these families return to the region annually for the Lilly Reunion, the world’s largest family reunion, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
In addition, 3 Rivers chronicles life along the Gauley River during the Civil War, recounting the Battle of Carnifex Ferry and examining the river’s role today in drawing whitewater enthusiasts from around the globe to West Virginia.
