We are the River
We are the River (in production)
A documentary feature film about how indigenous wisdom has become more urgent than ever as we confront the climate crisis of our planet.
An Aboriginal Elder and an Australian artist join a Maori leader for a five-day canoe trip down the Whanganui River in New Zealand that is legally recognized as a living being. Seen through their eyes, the film shows how we can be at one with nature.
