I Am the River, the River Is Me plot

In 2017, the Whanganui River in New Zealand was the first river in the world to be given the same rights as humans. This was the result of a more than 150-year long legal battle by the Maori, who see the river as their ancestors, as an indivisible and spiritual being. In this documentary, director Petr Lom takes to the river together with Māori river ranger Ned Tapa and a diverse group to learn more about how humans and nature relate to each other, and what we can learn from indigenous ideas.

The Whanganui River flows through the northern part of New Zealand and, after decades of negotiations, was recognized as a legal entity and has since been managed by its indigenous inhabitants, who have a deep spiritual connection with the river and all the physical and metaphysical associated with it is. Ned Tapa is one of the “temporary managers” of the nature reserve and takes some friends and an international group of activists and filmmakers on a five-day boat trip on the river. Shows how humans can (and should) live in harmony with nature and is full of beautiful images, accompanied by a soundtrack that will completely relax you. But what is most striking is the positive effect that the trip and the environment has on the participants. A gentle, yet highly effective call to people around the world to stand up for what we really can't live without.
