RIVER
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, poetic script create a film that is both dream-like and powerful, honouring the wildness of rivers but also recognising their vulnerability.
RIVER is the sequel to the 2017 hit documentary MOUNTAIN, reuniting the creative team of director Jennifer Peedom, the Australian Chamber Orchestra, narrator Willem Dafoe and writer Robert Macfarlane.

Hypnotic and powerful
breathtaking photography
Beautiful photography and educative documentary.
Visually spectacular and wonderful soundtrack. So much I didn't know or realise.
Outstanding
Great cinematography and wonderful, understated narration - letting the pictures convey the message. And a very important message too; I learned so
Much about the importance of our rivers.
Beautiful visuals while sending a very important message to us as caretakers of our environment.
River had my attention all the way through, stirring emotions of absolute gratitude for the earth and deep sadness to the ignorance of humans
spectacular
Having seen Sherpa and Mountain this was highly anticipated and seeing on a large screen a must. Tis was more environmentally focussed and with recent Australian flooding very relevant. The cinematography was amazing and equally matched with the orchestral score. Loved William Dafoe's narration which to me encouraged you to listen more intently to the message and did take me on a journey.
Amazing! Breathtaking visuals and renditions. Willem Dafoe's voice makes you travel another dimension. Brilliant...
Amazing. I wish Willem Dafoe would narrate more - I could fall asleep to that voice every night ????. Beautiful cinematography. You walk away wondering what our legacy in this world will be
Wow the movie felt so calming and relaxing to watch with the beautiful orchestra music in the background the breathtaking rivers and nature scenes this documentary left me speechless. Also Morgan Freeman expressing the many facts of the life of Rivers taught me a lot that I made me appreciate the life we live in.
Thought provoking doco with narration by Willem Dafoe. Great backing orchestra and music to match the cinematography of our world's rivers.
Very interesting and informative
