I work for an arts theater and we are looking at this movie as a possibility. Has anyone seen it. All I know is that it is a documentary of a rafting trip. There seems to be local intrest, but I need to know a lottle more about it.
shareI saw the film last night in Atlanta at the Landmark Midtown Art Theater and I enjoyed it very much. It's a movie that revisits the lives of five people who were guides on the Colorado River in the 1970's. It uses footage from director Robb Moss' 1978 documentary Riverdogs (not listed yet in the IMDb) contrasted with scenes and interviews shot 20 years later. I thought it was an interesting and compelling look at how lives change from idyllic youth to middle age (though one of the group was still working as a river guide twenty years later!) The local newspaper gave it a lukewarm positive review, saying it didn't delve deeply enough into how and why certain choices were made by the five (it didn't try to explain, for example, why three of them ended up as small-town mayors in California and Oregon towns), but I thought what was presented did the job just fine.
There is a GREAT deal of nudity in the older footage, none of which is sexual. The film has a website, samerivertwice.com.
Thank you so much. The way I was turned on to this movie was a woman called who just to live in our area and begged me to research it. I looked at the website but I needed some "this is what I think comments." Thank you very much.
We need body rockin' not perfection. Let me get some action from the back section.
I just watched this off of Netflix. They described it as a bunch of ex-hippies revisiting the scene of a tragic accident in which one of their friends died 20 years earlier.
Sorry, just a bunch of middle-aged people griping over their lost youth.
Skip it.
If you do watch it, it's only 78 minutes.
One is this documentary, and the other one, the one about the friend who died, was produced by Feature Films for Families, which is funded by the Mormons.
