    Summary note
    "[In 2008] when satirical writer and avid kayaker George Wolfe organizes a boating expedition down the entire 52-miles of the notorious Los Angeles River, he and his motley crew become entangled in a legal controversy of national proportions. With startling images of the LA River, insightful interviews and a soft spot for humor, Rock the Boat looks at the challenges society faces in providing clean water to urban populations, and delivers a bright alternative to the current spate of doomsday docs"--Container.
