Humanity’s most compelling and urgent challenge -- a shift that underpins all of our major crises -- is perhaps to understand, appreciate and act on exactly how the streams of life bind us into one inevitable village. This 2021 Australian film does just that, with awesome beauty and quiet wisdom.
It is an exploration of the timeless relationship between human civilization and Earth's rivers. Spanning six continents, this visual and musical tour-de-force is by turns celebratory, cautionary, and ultimately hopeful that we are beginning to understand rivers in all their complexity and fragility.
Narrated by Oscar Nominee Willem Dafoe. With music by the Australian Chamber Orchestra and Radiohead.
