The American West was built on a mirage: a blank check promising endless water.

Now, the Colorado River is in crisis and the check is due.

We need your support to tell the urgent story of the Colorado River.

Part river expedition, part apocalypse survival guide, Mirage follows Ash Sanders, a burnt out climate activist,  and her best friend, Abigail Keel, rafting 1,500 miles down the vanishing Colorado River to discover how we face climate collapse — and learn to fight for what remains.

Join us in telling the story of the Mirage.

We’re rafting down the entire 1500 miles of the Colorado River

to tell the story of how we got here and what we need to do to hold onto this river.
