Nick Mollé

Nature Filmmaker, Nick Mollé, talks about his powerful new PBS documentary, Water: The Sacred Gift, and why he thinks people should rethink their relationship with water and consider the broader implications of climate change on wildlife, ecosystems, and communities.

 Producer, host, and writer Nick Mollé has spent over 30 years documenting the Rocky Mountains, along with exotic destinations from Alaska to Costa Rica and Australia. His work combines serious purpose with a touch of humor, earning him numerous awards, including a Regional Emmy nomination for his documentary The Living Dream: 100 Years of Rocky Mountain National Park. 

Nick’s productions with American Public Television include WildSide with Nick Mollé: Costa Rica and the A Walk in the Park with Nick Mollé series, which features Nature of the Beasts, Rivers of the Rockies, and Birds Without Borders. He also produced Solar Car: The Secrets of Ra7, which showcases the Solar Challenge race across Australia, with an introduction by Robert Duvall. 

His latest project, Water: The Sacred Gift, explores environmental changes in a mountain watershed, integrating indigenous perspectives and raising important questions about our role in preserving natural habitats. Nick credits his success to close collaborations with filmmakers John Goerner and Sean Doherty. Together, they aim to showcase the beauty and significance of natural environments, hoping to inspire their preservation. 

Nick lives in Estes Park, Colorado, with his wife MaryBeth and daughters Lauren and Claire, where they own and operate The Rocky Mountain Channel.
