The 2008 LA River Expedition
On July 25th 2008, a dozen brave Angelenos, led by political satirist and unwitting activist George Wolfe, attempted to navigate down the full 51 miles of the Los Angeles River. This perilous journey was historical not so much in its scope, as in its timing – for the waters of the political system and money interests were about to drown this river in bureaucracy.
Can the hairbrained actions of a small group of citizens affect the decisions of a large governmental agency, and change the course of history?
