Access to water has defined the history of much of our country, especially the arid Western states. The Water Cycle is a portrait of the continuing battle over water, raising larger questions about the proper use of our limited natural resources. The video focuses on Mono Lake, a place of unworldly beauty in the desert of Eastern California. Mono Lake is believed to be the oldest continually existing lake in North America, possibly over one million years old. Since 1941, much of the lake's water has been diverted to Los Angeles, over 300 miles to the South, threatening the lake's continued existence. As part of a two-decade long campaign to save Mono Lake, committed bicyclists make a six-day pilgrimage every summer from L.A. to the lake. The Water Cycle uses this ride as a vehicle to vividly portray the history of water wars, and examine underlying issues of resource use, development, and individual action. Awards Gold Apple Finalist Reviews “Spectacular scenery
