I Am the River, the River Is Me

Petr Lom / Netherlands, Norway / 2024 / 88 min

Māori river guardian Ned Tapa takes a group of friends and family on a canoe trip down the Whanganui River in Aotearoa, New Zealand. The 320-kilometre-long river is the first in the world to be granted legal personhood. For over 150 years, the Whanganui iwi have been passionately fighting to protect their sacred lifeline. As they paddle through the picturesque landscape, the travellers discuss their deep, symbiotic connection with the river and its natural surroundings. They share inspiring ideas about how to work together to conserve environments and climates worldwide.
