The River Runner

A deeply personal documentary about an elite athlete confronting mortality and redefining purpose after a life-altering diagnosis, framed through the metaphor of an expedition.

Legendary kayaker Scott Lindgren attempts to complete an extreme, unprecedented whitewater expedition 20-years-in-the-making. When a brain tumor derails his goals, he sinks into the darkness of his own trauma only to discover that healing, like any expedition, is not a destination but a journey.
