Produced for FMR by award-winning local filmmaker John Kaul and narrated by 89.3 The Current’s Steve Seel, this 30-minute documentary tells the story of how one man’s vision — combined with smart citizen advocacy and effective political leadership — created the Mississippi River’s first and only national park right here in the Twin Cities. As we face new challenges like agricultural pollution, development pressure and habitat degradation, this story also reminds us of the powerful, long-term impact citizen-based stewardship and advocacy can have on the natural wonders we love.

Learn about the Mississippi River’s only national park located in the heart of the Twin Cities by tuning into TPT’s showing of “Rebirth: The Mississippi’s National Park,” which will air on Sunday, Aug. 28 at 6:30 p.m. on TPT-MN. Please check the Channel Guide chart for your TPT channels or watch now at FMR.org/rebirth.
