1h 15min
A cinematic and musical odyssey that explores the remarkable relationship between humans and rivers. Throughout history, rivers have shaped our landscapes and our journeys; flowed through our cultures and dreams. RIVER takes its audience on a journey through space and time; spanning six continents, and drawing on extraordinary contemporary cinematography, including satellite filming, the film shows rivers on scales and from perspectives never seen before. Its union of image, music and sparse, the poetic script will create a film that is both dream-like and powerful, honouring the wildness of rivers but also recognizes their vulnerability.

After listening to an interview with Jennifer Peedom, was really looking forward to this movie/documentary.
I was a little disappointed after watching it.
It's too short, and it felt a little stark in content.
It is visually excellent, but the music soundtrack is a little overwhelming in parts and Sometimes competing with the narration by Willem Dafoe.
I did learn a few things watching it... and for the most part, it was worth the watch.
Humans have achieved some engineering miracles, with little to no though of the long term consequences. It's something we excel at!!!
