Old Man River Project is the story of Brett Rogers’s 110-day expedition rowing the entire Mississippi River with four teammates. The team built a historic boat by hand and rowed 2,400 miles through the heart of America. Along the way they faced fierce storms, inner struggles, portaging their thousand-pound boat around 10 dams, and coming face-to-face with some of the most intense industrial development on the planet – all to raise awareness about drinking water. These are the first four installments of the 10-part web series
