Bad River: The World's Oldest River

Beau Miles sets out to run the first 100 kilometres of the world’s oldest river to understand what all the fuss is about. After encountering rivers transformed into drains and poisoned by mining, he turns his attention to the Finke River in central Australia — a place facing a different kind of modern threat, driven not by those who live there, but by those who don’t. This film follows a freckled, coastal outsider as he attempts to engage with an ancient landscape and its invisible pressures, moving through one of the most spellbinding environments on earth in search of understanding rather than answers.
