In episode 1, we trace the rise and fall of a once-mighty city in the American West, and how the struggle was a crucial turning point in its rebirth.

“Having the river, harnessing the river, losing the river in that process, having a city, losing the city through expansion into the suburbs, and then somehow with Expo, recovering the river and recovering the city, I think, is an extraordinary story in itself.”
