Salt Lake City, Utah, imminently faces an unimaginable environmental catastrophe: the draining of the Great Salt Lake. THE LAKE embeds itself with scientists, government staffers, and politicians who throw themselves into the center of the crisis where religion, land rights, politics, and science collide. Winner of a Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival.
