Paddle Tribal Waters

Feature Film in Production

When the largest dam removal project in history begins, a group of indigenous youth learn to whitewater kayak in hopes of becoming the first people to paddle the restored river from source to sea. In partnership with the nonprofit Rios to Rivers, which provides beginner kayaking programs for Indigenous youth, we created a series of short films aimed at program fundraising. In addition to this short film series, we have a feature length documentary in production.
