A profound, cinematic and musical reflection on how rivers have shaped both the planet's elaborate landscapes and all human existence, narrated by Willem Dafoe.

Director Jennifer Peedom (Mountain) takes us on an epic journey spanning six continents and drawing on extraordinary contemporary cinematography, to show rivers on scales and from perspectives never seen before.

Featuring music by Johnny Greenwood and Radiohead, River is propelled by the poetic narration of Willem Dafoe, creating a dream-like and powerful vision of the strengths of rivers, as well as their vulnerability.
