Our Judges say:

Visceral, artistic, heavyweight kayaking short. No dialogue, no music, just intense waterfall kayaking action and on-location sound. Magnificent. Try to see this one, most people will love it.

Paul Hodgson Music Judge

It's rare to find a film where you truley feel like you are actually there! Visceral!

Hannah Maia

Striking, beautiful, immersive. The soundscape is just wonderful.

Aiming to paddle the fabled Minus rapids at the base of Victoria Falls on the Zambezi river, Ben Marr’s biggest challenge is to get to them by trekking upstream. A total assault on the senses awaits as the force of the river speaks for itself.
