In WILTING POINT, we travel with Mina Melo, the producer of the award-winning podcast Clime, back to Sangre de Cristo Mountains in Southern Colorado where she is reluctantly adapting Clime as a series for a new streaming entertainment company. The series producer wants Mina to pick up with an unsolved murder investigation, but Mina is determined to tell a story about how climate-related water shortages and drought are threatening the community's way of life. Mina spends time with Tuca, a seventh-generation acequia farmer, Tuca's grandchild River, a rising youth climate activist, and Tuca's son Udo, a recently separated Marine who faces the choice of taking over the farm, or forcing Tuca to sell.
