National Geographic Live!: Chasing Rivers

Proof that passion, hard work, and guts matter more than the cost of your gear or where you went to school, Pete McBride has taken pictures from the cockpit of a WWI-vintage biplane and the underside of an iceberg, working in over 70 countries. Named a "freshwater hero" by National Geographic for his work photographing and filming great rivers, he'll offer unforgettable journeys down two of them. The Colorado, featured in his award-winning film Chasing Water, flows through majestic landscapes but no longer reaches the sea. And the Ganges, India's sacred water way, revered as a god, but polluted by the people who worship it.
