The upcoming documentary “Killing The Colorado” examines the man-made water crisis that’s affecting the American West. At one point, water was an abundant necessity, and now it’s a scarce and complex commodity. Though many efforts have been taken to curb excessive water use in the West, it’s not clear shorter showers and ripping out lawns will make any discernible difference. While recent drought conditions have diminished the once-mighty Colorado River — the source of the vast majority of the West’s water — experts are now wondering whether the most severe shortages have been caused not by weather or consumer choices but by short-sighted policies and poor planning.

Before the Kardashians, the Gosselins and the Osbournes, there were the Louds, America's first reality TV family.
HBO and producer Gavin Polone are teaming for a behind-the scenes look at the Santa Barbara clan and the making of "An American Family," the groundbreaking documentary series that featured them.
