The Call of the River... A Hundred Years of Whitewater Adventure from Kent Ford.

call of the riverWhitewater’s history has as many twists and turns as the canyons its pioneers explored. Its story is a collage of unexpected influences, from World War II's impact on boat materials to world champions defecting from communist regimes. Curiosity, ingenuity and outright audacity thrived, from building boats in friends’ basements to bribing damkeepers to release water, all in pursuit of the river experience. For the first time ever, The Call of the River, produced by award-winning videographer and former world champion Kent Ford, brings these tales and more together on film.
 
Featuring vintage canoeing and kayaking footage, in-depth interviews with eclectic pioneers and captivating narrative, this compelling documentary takes a behind-the-scenes look at what inspires paddlers to answer the call of the river.  (from press release)
