A little about Red River Divide
Sometimes a raging river, sometimes a peaceful stream, the Red River of the North winds for more than 500 miles from Breckenridge, Minnesota, to Lake Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Red River Divide investigates the history of the Red River Valley's geology and landscape to get a better understanding of the region and it's future.

The documentary explores the history of flooding along the Red River, steps communities have taken to protect themselves from floods, the development of a greenway to help with flood mitigation, and to provide recreational activities along the river. Red River Divide also studies the hydrology of the valley, tools available for flood forecasting and preparations underway for drought relief.
