The Downstream Project

Protecting watersheds by promoting awareness, alliance, and action through creative technology and communication.

As the saying goes “we all live downstream.” But at The Downstream Project, it’s more than a saying. It’s the underlying principle behind everything we do, beginning with our flagship 2009 film, Shenandoah: Voices of the River. This 52-minute documentary examines the history, ecology, and beauty of this treasured natural resource—and the potentially devastating impacts on its future. In all of our omni-media efforts, we continue to utilize this “in their own words” approach to capture and convey the energy and passion and commitment of our project partners and their missions.

In the words of TDP founder George Ohrstrom: “The hope is that people will educate themselves and stand up and become a voice for downstream issues because they are exceedingly important to all of us.”
