Director Morgan Atkinson interviewed me for his film about the Ohio River, “This is the Ohio: Life Death Rebirth of a Beautiful River.” I spent a lot of time reporting on the Ohio for my book Holding Back the River, and I told Morgan what I knew about the Corps of Engineers, the locks, the barge industry, and my thoughts on the river more broadly. I appreciated Morgan’s willingness to challenge preconceptions and preexisting narratives. His excellent film has aired on several PBS channels in Kentucky.
