Rob Rapley is the director/producer/writer for "Flood in the Desert,"  an American Experience documentary that tells the story of the 233 mile-long aqua duct for transporting much-needed water to the Los Angeles area.  It was opened amidst much fanfare.  Sadly, the residents of LA had a mistaken  sense of abundance of water,  and their use skyrocketed.  Eventually, a number of dams were built in the effort.  The collapse of one of them, the St. Francis Dam, was one of the worst civil engineering disasters in our nation's history. 

Emmy Award-winning director, producer and writer Steve Binder served as the director and producer for the 1968 TV special in which Elvis Presley was able to re-assert himself as a rock and roll icon after years of making a succession of largely forgettable movies.  He has written a fascinating behind-the-scenes account of the program titled 'Elvis '68 Comeback: The Story Behind the Special."
