I Am The River, The River Is Me

The Whanganui River in Aotearoa/New Zealand is the first river in the world to be recognized as a legal person. Māori river guardian Ned Tapa invites a First Nations Elder from Australia and his daughter, who are activists dedicated to saving their own dying river back home, on a five-day canoe trip down this sacred river. The film is a positive, urgent call to action for the rights of nature.
