WITH MUSIC BY RY COODER
This one-hour movie follows the lives of five families who rebuild after the great Central Texas flood of 1998.

We see the characters' fate in a massive repeat flood in 2002. This is the first part of a made-for-PBS series entitled: "The Water's Edge." It is scheduled to air on Texas PBS affiliates in Spring of 2005.
