About the event
The Whanganui River in Aotearoa/New Zealand is the first river in the world to be recognized as a legal person, as a living and indivisible being. Māori river guardian Ned Tapa invites a First Nations Elder from Australia and his daughter, activists dedicated to saving their dying river back home, on a five-day canoe trip down this sacred river. Made over three years, in close collaboration with the Whanganui Māori, this film is a positive, urgent call to action for the rights of nature: now the fastest-growing legal movement in the world.
